Support that vision by submitting on the Budget Policy Statement 2026,
which has left out any mention of child poverty for a third year running.
We’re running free submission workshops, and offering you free
templates for all ages to build your own submissions.
CPAG is an independent charity working to eliminate child poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand so all children can thrive.
We produce evidence about the causes and effects of poverty, look carefully at how government policies affect children, publish reports, make submissions and conduct research projects to achieve our goals.
As a CPAG member you will be part of a group committed to encouraging and promoting the development of better policies for children.
Fundraising is a fun and easy way to make a difference, and spread the word about poverty in New Zealand.
We’re always on the look out for passionate and skilled volunteers who can use their time and talent to support this kaupapa.
With your support, we are committed to ensuring all children in Aotearoa have the chance to flourish.
