I'm taking on The Big Mission Home!
I am taking part in The Big Mission Home again this year and walking our city this March to raise funds for the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai.
For more than a century, the Mission has been supporting Aucklanders in their times of need - providing nutritious food, homes, crisis support, medical care and dignity. As the Mission continues to respond to huge demand for their essential services, they need our help more than ever.
I am raising funds to help support the services provided at the Mission’s HomeGround where:
- every day between 250 – 350 people who are living on the streets or have no access to cooking facilities receive a hot nutritious meal in Haeata – the Community Dining Room. For many this meal is the only food they have each day.
- Over 2,000 people receive vital and affordable health care at the Calder Health Centre.
- During the day people living on the streets or in unsafe accommodation have a safe place to rest, wash and connect with Mission staff for support.
- People with drug or alcohol dependency can access a professional social withdrawal (detox) service
- 80 people who were homeless or on the social housing registry now call home in the apartments
- People are able to access support with affordable housing, job training, budgeting, Government support and community activities.
Please support me by making a donation. Big or small, everything you can give will make a difference to Aucklanders in greatest need.
Thank you!

Thursday 20th Mar Thanks for all your support 🙏 Just 2 sleeps to go & I'm just $101 shy of my goal so hoping that a few more friends & whanau will sponsor Georgie & me.
I'm walking again this year because...
Sunday 9th Mar Thanks so much for your support so far ♥️, I am 1/4 way to my $1000 goal. Last year I raised about $850 & got onto the City Mission email list. I got invited to their open day & then asked to help in the week before Christmas, receiving all the donations of food & gifts. It was one of the most worthwhile things I did last year & I admire the work the mission does, without judgement of anyone's circumstances. ShareThank you to everyone!
