Youth Line in Trouble
A Child helpline which gets an average of 448 calls each day from worried children will be forced to close if it can't find new sponsorship within three weeks. It's annula costs were covered by corporate sponsors who pulled out last year. The service costs $850,000 per year to run. Prominent Auckland criminal lawyer Marie Dyhrberg, a member of the fundraising committee, said it would be a tragedy to lose such a valuable service. "We have got to keep it afloat because when it's lost, it's lost."
