In June, the Cerebral Palsy Society cut services and staff, surprising members. The society threatened members and removed staff that spoke out.
The former board of one of the country’s richest charities, tasked with helping those with cerebral palsy, loaned millions to property companies that have failed to provide a return for the charity despite using the money to invest in Auckland’s red-hot housing market.
