Funding will hit the most vulnerable

[ad_1]
Here are some comments from Papanui’s Councillor Mike Davidson on the decrease in community funding faced by the Papanui-Innes Community Board. Click through to read more in the Star article.

Funding will hit the most vulnerable

Part of a recent Council resolution was to look at addressing the funding shortage by increasing the current fund by 10% and then annually by inflation. We need to be supporting communities and community groups that are doing amazing work with the limited funding they have. #strongcommunities
