This year we are excited to announce we will be holding an additional post budget event in Nelson on the 1st June. Each year Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) provides child-focused analysis and commentary of the budget. The aim is to provide an accessible and affordable avenue for the community to come together and hear about how the budget affects children and young people, especially our most vulnerable who live in poverty. We also need volunteers to help with planning and set up on the day, so check out the details below to see if you can help out in your region!
