📢 OUR COMMUNITIES NEED FINANCIAL MENTORS

When people and whānau are struggling with debt, hardship or rising living costs, free and confidential financial mentoring can make a real difference.

FinCap is calling on government and industry to back the future of financial mentoring so these essential services remain accessible across Aotearoa.

BASRI supports this kaupapa and encourages our community, whānau, local businesses and supporters to add their voice.

✍️ Please sign and share the petition: https://c.org/pC9xZkPZfN

Every signature strengthens the call.

Together, we can help keep Financial Mentoring available for the people and whānau who need it.
