A huge thank you to SkyCity Auckland for hosting the Catalytic Foundation offices and volunteer centre in Auckland. 💙

As we gear up for the Big Warm Up this June and July, it’s incredible to have partners who believe in community and creating positive impact together.

The Big Warm Up is all about coming together through corporate volunteering to support people doing it tough this winter, and we’re excited to see teams across Auckland getting involved.

If your organisation would like to be part of the Big Warm Up and learn more about corporate volunteering opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.

Today we donated over 250 suits, shirts and pants, (thanks to Cambridge Clothing ) to Jane at the charity Fix Up Look Sharp, in Onehunga, Auckland.

Fix Up Look Sharp is an incredible charity. They style men heading into job interviews. This gives them the boost they need to put their best foot forward.This donation is about more than just clothing. It is about restoring confidence. It is about supporting their mana as they step into future employment.

A massive thank you to the team at Cambridge Clothing Company for making this donation possible. Your generosity will directly impact lives in our local community.

Thank you also to Meridian Energy for our van! So useful to get donated items to charities serving our community 👏

Woah, last night was chilly!

We were fortunate enough to be able to put on warmer clothes, grab another blanket, and turn on the heater to make ourselves a bit more comfortable.

But for many people, turning on the heater or grabbing another blanket isn't an option.

Help us keep people warm this winter with care packages containing warm clothing, blankets and even tents for those who need them.

Donate to The Big Warm Up (bigwarmup.org.nz) 💙

We have orders from community charities for nearly 1,500 winter care packages AND 150 packages for rough sleepers.

Can you help?

We need people to:
💙Fill care packages
💙Fundraise for us by taking a COLD PLUNGE ❄️💦
💙Sponsor a care package by donating online at BigWarmUp.org.nz

These packages are distributed to people who are homeless and living in hardship. People like your elderly neighbour, who can't afford their electricity bill, the family up the road who can't afford to buy winter clothing for their growing children, and the people who are living on the streets or in their cars.

By using our trusted charity network, we ensure the packages reach those who need them most.

Please donate today: BigWarmUp.org.nz
