An Impact like no other

Born in the warm, moist air above the Coral Sea, Severe Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle passed over New Caledonia on 11 February 2023, slamming into the North Island of New Zealand the following day. By the time Gabrielle entered New Zealand territorial waters, it became the lowest-pressure weather system ever recorded in this part of the world. In the following days, Gabrielle wreaked havoc across multiple cities, towns and regions leaving behind unprecedented damage, broken lives, livelihoods, homes and farms. Some land may never recover. Farmers are faced with stark choices and a rebuild that will test their character and mental health to the limit.

Why the Rural Support Trust?

All donations will go towards the Rural Support Trust who is a charity that provides on-the-ground support and assistance to rural communities nationwide, through regional offices.

East Coast Rural Support Trust chairperson Clint Worthington says 100% of donations will go to impacted communities.

“These donations won’t just go towards the next month or two, but will be helping farmers set up for the long-term as well,” Worthington says. “The process of recovery from an adverse event like this, is in three stages – response and ensuring safety during the first few weeks; recovery, which can take three to four months, and then rebuilding. There is massive damage, and it will take years to recover from, so we need to have that long-term focus.”
