KCA Wins Supreme Award at 2022 Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards
Last Thursday our charity was privileged to win the Health and Well Being category and the Supreme Award for the work that our volunteers do across the Greater Wellington region.
We are humbled to receive this award as last financial year our team of volunteers rescued and redistributed nearly 350 tons of food and over 4,000 banana boxes of the necessities of life to pass on to clients working with our partner agencies for free.
It was a nice surprise which occurred a few days after our 11th birthday.
Its amazing that our charity started in our double garage 11 years ago after being inspired by the Inside Childhood Poverty by Bryan Bruce.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
