Sam McMullan
Chairperson
Sam, a lawyer, works primarily as a Crown prosecutor in Auckland. In that role, he sees first hand the effect that a lack of positive role models can have on peoples’ lives.

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.

Throwback Thursday to when Little Brother Bobbie was feeling a bit down in the dumps...
Nothing that a HUGE churro at the night markets couldn't fix! Oh, and of course, the listening ear of his Big Brother Ben 😅
Here at BBBS Auckland, we take social distancing and safety very seriously! It's our biggest priority to keep both our Mentors and Mentees safe, especially in the face of a global pandemic.
Check out Ben and Bobbie's cool homemade masks made out of Marvel superhero themed fabric!
We couldn't be grateful enough for NZI for taking part in a team building with Corporate Challenge Events, and generously donating us these fun Lego sets for our Matches to enjoy!
Check out the big grins on Callen and Luis' faces, and spot their awesome building skills. It didn't take them long at all to get stuck in!
It's Wednesday again? Time for Waitlist Wednesday!
Little M is looking for a Big Brother who understands his culture and can help him connect with his roots. M lives in Orakei, which means he would be best suited to a Big Brother who lives in Central or East Auckland, within a 15 minute drive.
Do you know any amazing Pasifika men who would be the perfect match for M? Tag them below and share this post!
