The Rural Support Trust believes beneficiaries will make a difference to the flooding clean-up in the upper South Island.

The Government's activated a beneficiary task force in Tasman and Marlborough, to support those affected by severe weather.

Tasman has 600 work-ready beneficiaries.

Rural Support's Top of the South chair, Richard Kempthorne told Andrew Dickens the initiative's worked well before.

He doesn't know what happens if people are physically and mentally capable and refuse to do the work.
