A response fund has been approved to support immediate and emerging needs in the community following the Mosque terror attack.

The fund was established by the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board, and $10,000 will be made available for it.

A maximum of $1000 can be granted per application to support initiatives, such as events connecting the community and projects that promote safety, calm, connectedness, self-efficacy and hope.
