We work in a variety of ways to educate people-from corporate citizens to politicians and the general public- about the political and community actions that will better support children and their families. We believe it's time to address the priority issues that affect children, so that all New Zealanders can thrive. 

Like any project we have a Steering Group responsible for the direction of our programme and ensuring transparent accountability. This governance body has been carefully selected to ensure wide experience, sound judgement and broad-based representation.  We have a Project Team charged with the task of making it all happen and accountable to the Steering Group and selected for their experience and competence.
