Child Travel Fund
PLEASE NOTE
Regrettably, the Child Travel Fund is now closed for October applications as all available funding has been used.
Applications will reopen on the first working day of the next eligible month – Monday, November 3rd at 10am.
Please note that whānau are now only able to apply every second month (bi-monthly) after an approved application. For example, if you receive funds in October you will not be eligible to apply again until December.
Ngā mihi.
When a loved one is imprisoned, it puts extra stress and costs on whānau. There is often little-to-no support and many struggle to visit loved ones as often as they would like. Te Pā provides a travel subsidy to help encourage the strong whānau relationships that are an important part of a person’s reintegration when they return to the community.
Te Pā is also the National Administrator of the Child Travel Fund on behalf of the Prisoners Aid and Rehabilitation Societies throughout New Zealand and Salvation Army Reintegration Services.
