Auckland Post Budget Brunch
Each year CPAG provides child-focused analyses and commentary of the year's budget looking how the budget will impact working for families tax credits, incomes, housing, education, health and welfare.
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.
This event is a great introduction to learning about how policy impacts our children and their future outcomes, make sure to bring your friends and whanau along.
