About us

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to September's Bring Back Stubbies campaign, which helped shine a spotlight on our incredible programme. We’d like to give special recognition to MetService New Zealand for their generous support with online advertising, reaching nearly 150,000 people! It truly takes a community to support the young people in our programme, and MetService is now part of that community. Whara koe i a ia. We are luck to have you.

Congratulations on turning TWO! We have been so grateful for this initiative and would like to say a massive thank you for your support via One Good Kiwi. Well done! Such a great team to work with too. One New Zealand
This month One Good Kiwi has turned 2 years old! 🎂 And what does that mean?! A whopping $2.4 MILLIION has been donated to over 100 youth charities all across Aotearoa! Here's some of our favourite highlights from the last 2 years: · The Cake Detective Charitable Trust – One Good Kiwi funding has paid for 595 birthday cakes for kids who would ordinarily go without one on their birthday. · John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation – has provided 1640 free water safety sessions including instruction, transport, lane hire, entry fee and progress tracking. · Nurturing Families NZ - the funds have gone towards the purchase of second-hand bassinets, cots, prams and car seats. It has been able to help over 400 children with the One Good Kiwi money so far! If you haven’t downloaded the app yet get it today on the App Store here: https://lnkd.in/gW3t7m5p, or Google Play here: https://lnkd.in/gPb-5Vmn, so you can be a part of something epic and help choose where the next $100k will go 💚 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gcS9eu9j

TODAY'S THE DAY!! Kiwis everywhere are wearing their ‘short shorts’ and texting STUBBIES to 4462 to help ‘shorten the waitlist for tamariki waiting to join the Big Brothers and Big Sisters programme’. A BIG Aroha to #sandscribers who started this important day off with something really special. It was a pleasure to meet Aiyanna and Wayne and hear their story again reinforcing why this mahi is so important for our young people’s wellbeing and future. #bringbackstubbies #showthemthelove #letthemshine #youthmentoring
