The earthquake recovery fund now totals about $11 million - all of which will go to earthquake victims.

It includes $3.5m pledged to the Red Cross and the $5 million Government contribution to the mayoral fund - now combined in one fund. Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said Fletcher Building had also given Christchurch City Council a $1m grant to go towards the protection and rebuilding of heritage buildings.
