🎨 ART FOR IMPACT – Original Art. Local Talent. Life-Changing Impact.

We have something very special to share!

Local artist Kirsty Schofield has generously offered a beautiful collection of her original paintings for our Art for Impact fundraiser — with an incredible 50% of every artwork sold going to Big Brothers Big Sisters Wellington. 💜

From stunning seascapes and florals to native birds and wildlife, these are one-of-a-kind original artworks. There is only ONE of each painting available, so if you spot one you love, don’t wait!

Your purchase does more than bring a beautiful piece of local art into your home. 50% of every sale helps us create and professionally support mentoring relationships for tamariki and rangatahi across our community.

🖼️ SHOP THE COLLECTION ON TRADE ME

You can purchase each artwork directly through its individual Trade Me listing. We’ve put all the direct links in the comments below 👇

A huge thank you to Kirsty Schofield for using her creativity and generosity to support our mahi and help us ignite youth potential.

Buy something beautiful. Make a lasting impact. 💜

This September, enjoying a burger at Social Corner will also help support local young people.

For every Southern Heat chicken burger sold throughout September, Social Corner is generously donating $1 to Big Brothers Big Sisters Wellington.

Those dollars will help us continue creating and supporting safe, professionally supported mentoring relationships for tamariki and rangatahi across our region — connecting young people with a trusted mentor who shows up consistently, one hour at a time.

We’re incredibly grateful to Social Corner for finding a simple and delicious way for our community to get behind local mentoring.

So, if a burger is on the menu this September, head along to Social Corner. Every burger counts!

Eat a burger. Back a big future.

Help us give more young people someone in their corner.

Every week, our volunteer mentors show up for tamariki and rangatahi across Wellington, Hutt Valley, Porirua and Kāpiti – listening, encouraging and helping young people build confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.

Right now, more than 40 young people are waiting for a mentor.

Your support can help us reach them.

Every donation helps us recruit, screen and train volunteer mentors, create safe and carefully considered matches, and provide the ongoing professional support that helps mentoring relationships thrive.

Whether it’s $5, $10, $25, $50 or more, every contribution makes a difference.

Together, we can help more young people have a trusted person who believes in them and is there to cheer them on.

Donate today and help us ignite youth potential – one mentoring relationship at a time.

A huge thank you to Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne Ecosanctuary for joining Big Brothers Big Sisters Wellington as one of our valued Community Partners.

Through this partnership, Zealandia is generously providing tickets for some of our matches to visit and explore this incredible place together.

One of our matches, Sinead (mentor/tuakana) and Scarlett-Rose (mentee/teina), recently headed along and had a fantastic time exploring Zealandia together. They really enjoyed themselves and made the most of the opportunity to spend some quality time together.

For our matches, experiences like this are about more than a day out. They create new experiences, spark curiosity and, most importantly, give our mentors and mentees the chance to have fun and strengthen their connection.

We’re incredibly grateful to Zealandia for supporting our mentoring programme and helping create memorable experiences for our tamariki, rangatahi and mentors.

Thank you for being part of our BBBS community!

Could there be a future paramedic among our mentoring matches? We certainly think so!

Our Big Brothers Big Sisters matches recently had an incredible behind-the-scenes visit to Wellington Free Ambulance, where they stepped inside an ambulance, explored the life-saving equipment, and discovered what it takes to respond when someone dials 111.

From learning how the ambulance is set up to seeing the technology paramedics use every day, our young people asked thoughtful questions, explored every corner, and even got to sit in the driver's seat. It wasn't just about ambulances—it was about inspiring curiosity, building confidence, and showing that careers helping others are within reach.

You never know... today's curious visitor could be tomorrow's paramedic, making a difference when their community needs them most.

A huge thank you to the amazing team at Wellington Free Ambulance generously sharing your time, knowledge, and passion. Experiences like these help our young people dream bigger, discover new possibilities, and see that with encouragement and support, anything is possible.
