The Royal New Zealand RSA had a relaunch at Parliament last night. It says it wants to better reach young veterans, tell their stories, and most of all stay relevant.
The relaunch includes a renewed national support network, a bolstered online presence, and a new membership and communications system.
It comes amid dozens of RSA clubs around the country shutting their doors due to poor finances, and a group of self-styled 'Rebel RSAs' forming to fight the national organisation.
Simon Strombom, founder of the New Zealand Remembrance Army, one of the largest veterans charities in the country, talks to Emile about the need for change.
