What we do » What we offer » Advocating for the best start

Since we began in 1907, Plunket has been a strong and effective advocate working to improve child health and well being in the context of their families and communities. This work is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors and the commitment of volunteers.

This work is done through:

• remits
• working in partnership with other agencies
• making submissions to national and local government and other bodies

This helps ensure legislation and policies that affect children and families are based on evidence of what works for child and family health and wellbeing. Informing the media through media releases also helps to keep children’s needs and related issues top of the public’s mind.
