Chairperson

Sam became involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters because in his view bringing this world-leading mentoring programme to Auckland is long-overdue.
He believes that all children, and indeed all of us, can benefit from a mentor and the benefits that the Big Brothers Big Sisters programme offers to children and their communities are significant.

Introducing Big Sister Reece and Little Sister Kiriwai!
Kiriwai is a little firecracker and loves running circles around others and keeping active. When she said she was looking for a Big Sister who she could explore Auckland with, we knew that Reece was the perfect choice!
We'll definitely be keeping an eye on these two to see what special spots they find together.
Practically perfect in every way.
Some of our matches were very lucky to have been treated to tickets to see Mary Poppins at the Civic Theatre last month. We think you could tell by the smiles in these photos what a brilliant time they all had!
A big thank you to G & T Productions for your very kind donation of tickets. Because of you, some of our Littles got to visit the Civic Theatre for their first time ever!
A big thank you to @collected.nz on Instagram for making a very kind donation to BBBS Auckland!
Collected is a really special homegrown project where once loved vintage goods are refurbished and given a second chance at life in a new home. 50% of Collected's profits are donated to BBBS Auckland - which is so incredibly generous!
Check out Collected here on Instagram: www.instagram.com/collected.nz/
👋 MEET A MATCH MONDAY 👋
We'd like to introduce one of our newer matches, Big Brother Guy and Little Brother Roman!
Roman was looking for a fun mentor who would spend time doing his favourite things with him - especially watching movies! He's a big movie buff, and his favourite films are Jumanji, Jurassic World and Despicable Me 3.
We can't wait to hear about all the new movies that Guy and Roman will enjoy together. Maybe Roman will find a new favourite to add to his list!
“ONE OF THE MOST
REWARDING THINGS
I HAVE EVER DONE.”
