We're fundraising for the Sir John Kirwan Foundation’s amazing Mitey initiative.

Through the Mitey initiative, the Foundation aim to educate every child in New Zealand about the importance of their mental health.

Their unique approach sees a trained Mitey coach working alongside schools for 3 years- developing a deep sense of their individual needs and then staying to provide custom support and resources. This means the education is deeply embedded throughout the entire school and lays the important foundation for children to nurture their mental health, and that of others, for the rest of their lives.

And for the children? Schools report that kids are more able to talk about and manage their feelings and help their classmates do the same- and the teachers experience improvements in their own well-being. Win win.

With your generosity, Mitie can be rolled out into more school settings, reaching more kids to teach them the vital skills they need to manage their mental health. So let’s help them to build a Country which understands, supports and prioritises mental health.

Thank you so much for your donation today. Beckie Braham
