Running for the right to security, food, shelter, education and healthcare for every child in New Zealand.
Auckland
Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) is an independent charity working to eliminate child poverty in New Zealand through research, education and advocacy.
Everyone agrees children need the right conditions to grow into healthy adults. Children thrive when they have the basics: nutritious food; a warm, safe home; medical attention if they are sick and a good education. Sadly, too many children in New Zealand don’t have the basics.
Please see this recent interview with the Children's Commissioner for info on some of the issues faced by New Zealand's poorest children: http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/201789561/children's-commissioner-slams-residential-tenancies-bill
I'm running Round the Bays (https://www.roundthebays.co.nz) on 6th March to raise money for this awesome charity.
