Jaffas4Chch Campaign: Supporting Small Business in Christchurch

Small business plays a significant part in the New Zealand Economy and
is a major employer. Having a strong small business sector is important
if we are to pull out of the recession.

The destruction of the Christchurch CBD and the loss of 750+ buildings,
means significant disruption to least that many businesses and even more
jobs. Neither Christchurch nor New Zealand can afford that damage to the
economy in these fragile times.

The Jaffas4Chch campaign is about providing Christchurch Small Business
with the practical help they need to save their businesses and get them
contributing to the economy again.

Jaffas4Chch want to deploy business people who can give practical
assistance including:

* Helping find new / arrange repair existing premises and/or
business equipment.
* Help find replacement staff.
* Work with suppliers to secure ongoing supplies.
* Reconnect with customers.
* Prepare plans for business emergency funding.

Jaffas4Chch has already offered help to Christchurch Business
Organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce. Jaffas4Chch is looking to
secure funding so it can fund the deployment of skilled business people
in Christchurch. Individual and Corporate Sponsorship Packages are
available.
