Become a Big Buddy Volunteer Mentor in South Auckland!

Shane from Papakura

Hey everyone,

I’ve been volunteering at Big Buddy for more than 5 years. Big Buddy is a charity that matches good men with a bit of time to spare with boys ages 7-14 who don’t have a father or father figure in their lives. It’s truly been a rewarding experience I wouldn’t have swapped for anything.

In November 2022 I joined the team as the new mentoring manager for South and East Auckland. We have a ton of young boys on our waiting list, particularly in South Auckland, and I’m keen to spread the word as I know we have many amazing people in our communities. We really struggle for male volunteers in South Auckland, and I know for sure there are plenty out there!

If you think this may be something you could be interested in, please follow the link below or share with someone who you think would make a great Big Buddy!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
