Cyclone & Flooding Response & Recovery: Key issues from our members throughout Te Ika-a-Māui

22 February 2023 - Today we are publishing our brief snapshot paper, highlighting key issues we are hearing from SSPA members throughout affected rōhe of Te Ika-a-Māui, and to outline some key calls to government at this time. We are concurrently sharing it with the government, and continuing to keep in close touch with government officials and Ministers to advocate for what is needed for children, rangatahi, families, whānau and you, our members. We welcome any feedback you have. Because this is an evolving situation, we will seek to update this over the coming weeks, too.You can read the PDF version here.
