## Resource

Wellington City Councils drastic funding cut to Citizens Advice Bureau leaves the organization struggling to maintain essential services. The bureau, which helped eleven thousand people last year, is now at risk of shutting down due to a sixty percent reduction in funding. The CEO argues that central government should contribute directly to these frontline services, and the community is rallying to reinstate the funding.
