Fishing Buddies
Big Buddies Karl and Raj teamed up and took their Little Buddies Tāne and Martyn out together on a fishing trip. And although they didn’t catch any dinner, they did find deeper, long lasting benefits.
News
There’s always a lot going on at Big Buddy. We are active in the media – in print, television, radio and Facebook – sharing our mentoring stories and news about everything from expansion plans to funding successes. Many of our stories come fresh from the field via coordinators, Big and Little Buddies, and mothers. They are always a good read!
We’d love to hear your stories about mentoring – please send them to us (here).
How can I help?
Like most charities, we rely on the generosity of our community to keep making a positive difference. But, this support doesn’t always need to be in cash. We run several events and fundraising activities throughout the year to help raise much-needed funds.
