Nearly a year has passed since the February 22 Christchurch earthquake stunned the country and changed countless lives forever.

Like a village we all banded together, even Prince William, to help our neighbours in the garden city and these red and black bands symbolise that support.

A year on, the need to help is just as relevant as Christchurch families continue to rebuild their homes and lives. BANDS 4 HOPE continues as tangible proof of Kiwis coming together and supporting each other. Let’s show Christchurch that we’re still standing strong behind them. If you already have BANDS 4 HOPE, make sure you wear them with pride or order yours now and wear your support for all to see.
