Free lower North Island counselling service facing uncertain future

A lower North Island free counselling service is facing an uncertain future after one of its government contracts was drastically reduced this year. The Marton Counselling Centre's annual budget's taken a $30,000 hit this year during Oranga Tamariki funding cuts. The centre's now fighting for survival, leaving its manager furious about its plight, especially when compared to Mike King's Gumboot Friday progamme, which received a multi-million dollar government boost.
