Big Buddy Mentoring Trust – Auckland Head Office
Big Buddy is a registered charity that exists to make a positive difference for 7 – 14 year old boys who don’t have their dads in their lives.
Courageous, brave mums and caregivers bring their precious boys to us to help fill a gap. Incredible men step up to be role models and volunteer as a big buddy to these little buddies. They spend time together on the weekend and the magic happens. Confidence, resilience and emotional awareness grows. A mum of a little buddy says it the best;
“I thought when my son got his Big Buddy that he would do things like learning to fix the car. It is much bigger and more important than that. He is learning to talk and listen, how to show up and be there for his mates and how to respect me more”
The Big Buddy Mentoring Trust has recently celebrated 1,000 matches made since 1997 and we have created considerable momentum in the last 3 years. We are ambitious for the future and a head office is a very important foundation for our organisation.
