Financial mentoring really helps to make a difference in the lives of individuals and whanau. This report is a great reminder of the huge need for our services in the community - a growing need that is incredibly under-funded. Being a financial mentor is a vocation, it takes someone with great empathy, good listener, huge knowledge and experience. The role is very under-valued, and the difference in can make to a family can be absolutely life-changing (and sometimes life-saving) for many.
