Buckets of Good
New Zealand Red Cross’ annual appeal this year is all about doing ‘Buckets of Good’ and helping cross off items of basic human need from our bucket list. It's your chance to not only make a life changing difference to people impacted by emergencies and conflict but also potentially cross off something from your own bucket list!

Are you a thrill seeker who’s always wanted to bungy jump at some of the most stunning locations across the motu? Are you an animal lover and have always wanted to swim with dolphins?

Our 'Buckets of Good’ appeal is your chance to make a difference for people in need, and you could go in the draw to win a bucket list item of your own!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
