Great kōrero with National MP members about the need for a Generational Plan

In April 2026, Barnardos Aotearoa had the opportunity to have an important kōrero with members of the New Zealand National Party. It was a valuable chance to share our mahi and talk about our solutions to the issues affecting tamariki, including our Generational Plan, a long-term solution focused on creating better outcomes for tamariki across Aotearoa.

With this being an important year, we invited the MPs who attended to cast their vote for children and discuss how we can work together. Over half of those who attached supported progressing a Generational Plan for children.

Thank you to the National Party MPs who took the time to join us and engage in these important conversations. We are here to help.

A big shout out as well to our partners at IKEA for their support in providing delicious kai and thoughtful gifts.
