Brothers Taine and Cullen tragically lost their dad at 10 and 11. Their mum Kendall says the impact that their Big Buddies had on them was more than she could have ever imagined.

"I still find it hard to believe that spending just 2 hours a week with a child can make such an enormous, life-changing difference. My boys are now 20 and 21. They are kind, well-adjusted young men, both with positive futures. They wouldn’t be the men they are today without Corey and Damo in their lives, and I’ll always be grateful to Big Buddy for this."
