SuperGrans Dunedin is vowing to fight on, after learning that its government funding has been cut. Last month’s letter informed SuperGrans Dunedin that its $79,000 in annual Sages funding would be ‘‘reprioritised towards elder abuse and neglect prevention services’’. Despite extensive research, SuperGrans Dunedin so far had been unable to identify an alternative funding stream to which it could apply. Careful fiscal management meant SuperGrans Dunedin had enough in its coffers to keep going for another year while searching for other funding.
