Update: 2024-09-06

Description

Women’s Refuge is in the spotlight following claims of unauthorised spending from a “wellbeing fund”.

Three women at Whare Manaaki Porirua Women’s Refuge have been suspended while a forensic accountant goes over expenditure.

Charities Law expert Sue Barker tells Heather du Plessis-Allan charities need public support and reputational controversies could damage Women’s Refuge’s ability to do what the public support them to do.
