A transformational impact
Every dollar raised at Bowls and BBQ for Big Brothers Big Sisters will stay in the local community, and go on to build healthy futures for Aotearoa's young people.
Big Brothers Big Sisters match deserving tamariki (aged 6-12) with caring adults who will be in their corner. These adults meet with their young person once a week in a professionally-supported friendship - spending time together, providing stability and support as they grow and develop, and helping them pursue their dreams.
No one can speak to the importance of their programme better than those who have been involved first-hand …
"Daniel has increased his confidence and his relationships have improved. He is exposed to more life experiences and has an increased life knowledge. He is very happy and we are very grateful for the programme"

"I get out and try new things. I now have someone to hang out with and someone to talk to"
- Big Brothers Big Sisters mentee
"As I go through life, very few things will be rewarding and fulfilling as being a mentor for a boy who needs one. Tristian has become one of the most important people in my life. I carry a key ring he gave me inside my police body armour, it says 'Tristian & Tim Best Friends Forever'. It sums it up nicely"
