Visionwest responds to Budget 2026, recognising the constraints of a challenging fiscal environment, but centred on the needs of the whānau we serve.

In February 2025, Visionwest wanted to better understand their impact and learn how they could do even more good. They partnered with ImpactLab to estimate the social value of their programme.

For the past two years, Visionwest has been invited to be a part of the Budget Day lock-in at Parliament Buildings. This has given us an early look at the contents and enabled us to prepare a response. This is our response to Budget 2023.
