​blanket bank

The New Brighton Blanket Bank was created in 2012.
It is a project of giving and receiving,  free from judgement, which relies on donations of warm bedding from the public. 

In 2019 we gave out hundreds of items to support keeping families in our city warm.
Many Christchurch homes are still insufficiently insulated and the cost of heating is not going down.  We are committed to  supporting anyone who can benefit from our service.
​
Lets work together to keep Christchurch warm.

How we can
​help you

Please don't struggle to keep warm this winter!!

We will make up your bedding ready to be picked up and arrange a time with you for collection.
