A driver’s licence changed his life. Now the charity that made it possible could be forced to close

A Wellington youth employment charity is facing closure after losing over $600,000 in public sector funding, jeopardizing its driving school. This program has been transformative for many young people, offering them the chance to gain independence and improve employment prospects. The potential shutdown highlights broader issues in funding for youth services and raises concerns about the future of similar programs that rely on government support. Without this critical resource, countless youths could miss out on life-changing opportunities.
