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.
Read More
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.

We need your help! Do you have a spare tablet, laptop or computer lying around that you are able to lend for the next few weeks? Many of the kids in our programme don't have access to technology that will allow them to stay in contact with their mentors over the lockdown period. For many of them, this contact is essential, and will become even more important during this period of isolation. If you can help, please comment on this post or email Jess at [email protected] Thank you in advance!
