Earthquake Update Page

  We are reconnected to our server
This means that we can use our 'changeforourchildren.co.nz' email addresses again and receive the enquiry forms from the website. We were able to visit the offices this week and retrieve essential items. We will continue to work out of 50 Webb St for at least the next 8 weeks. Thank you for your patience.

We are safe and so are our families.
Some of us are homeless and all of us are saddened by the tragic loss of life. We appreciate the outpouring of concern and love for the people of our region by fellow New Zealanders and indeed the world. We also appreciate the impressive human response by the authorities to the disaster. As a reader of this page, we thank you personally for your care.

We are fully operational.
We have continued to operate through the crisis. We cannot access our offices or server, but thankfully we have been able to restore data from our back-up drive, divert our phones, set up with new equipment and relocate. Our contact details are:
  • New location: 50 Webb St, St Albans Christchurch 8014
  • Old Phone: +64 (03) 3796686 Calls to this number will be diverted to our temporary office.
  • Old emails are working again
  • Old cell: Stephanie is 0276499428 (still active)
  • New Cell: Judith and Sharon have new numbers (Judith 0278211595, Sharon 0278211590)
Please keep using our services.
The best way to support us is to keep using our services. In the week following the earthquake 45 people from across New Zealand, and 19 from South Auckland, participated in our 'Baby Essentials Online' education for protecting babies from sudden infant death. We encourage you to encourage others to support our Safe Sleep education blitz and go through the 15 minute education programme.
