Submission to Budget Policy Statement (BPS) 2022

Executive Summary

1. The Salvation Army appreciates the enduring nature of the five overarching wellbeing objectives for this government. It is therefore important to offer some comment from our perspective on the revised versions of these objectives for Budget 2022, particularly as they inform long term wellbeing for New Zealanders. In the following sections, we provide specific insights on both the revised wellbeing objectives, as well as the two areas of policy focus for 2022. However, not all of these wellbeing or policy priorities are areas that are directly relevant to the mission and work of The Salvation Army. Therefore, we are only commenting on specific areas of the BPS 2022.
