Hato Hone St John Christchurch

Will you sort the important stuff this September? 💚

September is Wills Month, and there is no better time to make sure your wishes are clearly written down.

A Will helps protect your loved ones and gives you a say in what happens to the people and things that matter most. It is not about planning for the worst. It is about making sure those you love are not left guessing.

You can create a free online Will through our partner Footprint. It usually costs $100 and takes, on average, just 15 minutes.

Complete and register your Will during September and you could win:
• One of four $150 Prezzy Cards
• One of two $1,000 Canopy Camping Escape vouchers

Weekly prize winners will also remain in the draw for the grand prizes.

👉 Get started here:
https://partners.myfootprint.co.nz/hato-hone-st-john

Complete your Will by midnight on 30 September 2026 to enter.*

Already sorted? Share the opportunity with your family and friends and help them protect what matters too.
For support, contact Footprint on 0800 366 877 or [email protected].

This year we have 34 sites throughout Otautahi with volunteers across all business units in HHStJ, our local Fellowship and Christchurch AC. The Mist Team have set up a fantastic display at Prestons New World, and we have Fleet N #562 (donated by Linda and Barry Jackson) on show in the CBD.
