Ezekiel Robson served as Chairperson of a National Lottery Grants Board Committee. His leadership proved essential for wise decision-making when funds were limited. Ezekiel has over 20 years of history in non-profit Board and Management experience including making many successful funding applications for charities in violence prevention, disability advocacy and youth work sectors. From volunteering as a Youth Counsellor, Mentor and Group Facilitator with Youthline, Ezekiel knows the importance of providing positive engagement for our young people, including school camps and other programmes. Ezekiel supports community-led endeavours to minimise the negative impacts of alcohol and gambling-related harm. Ezekiel's knowledge and integrity will help deliver greater collaboration between funding agencies, ensure funds reach those who need it most, conflicts-of-interest are acknowledged, and opposes further asset sales without consultation. To ensure transparency of funding, the quality management of Trust Assets and continuation of valued partnerships, give six Wiri Trust votes to #LoveManurewa.
