Plan for distributing millions in remaining Christchurch mosque donations to be revealed this week

Brian from New Lynn

It received donations of $10.5 million, and is also in control of almost $3 million raised by seven predominantly Muslim groups. But so far only $3 million has been distributed. That is despite the victims and their families, many of whom are now without their main bread winner, reporting problems keeping up with their mortgage payments. Donors RNZ has spoken to said that was not good enough and it should not take more than seven weeks to get the money to where it was needed.
Ms Ardern today confirmed a distribution plan would be revealed some time this week. Victim Support has been approached for comment.The Christchurch City Mission said it was hearing from more Muslim families asking for help in the wake of attacks. City Missioner Matthew Mark said he understood the frustration over the delays, but Victim Support had a tough task. "The organisation [that] are managing those funds have a very very strict criteria they have to adhere to ... to ensure that there's fairness and equity in how they're distributing those funds as well. "It's something that can't be rushed, [and] also is something that needs to be extremely well considered so that nobody is left without at the end of the the day." Mr Mark said the mission was stepping in to meet immediate needs.

The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has already seen three new bus services to connect residents to the rest of the city. The RTTR is the first targeted transport rate within the Auckland region.
