Paddy rides again to help NZ children join in activities they love doing

$2,501 of $5,000 goal
Given by 40 generous donors in 12 weeks

Sponsor Paddy to help children in need through the Sarah Lilli Fund.

Nationwide

Because of the Sarah Lilli Fund, over 1300 NZ children have been able to enjoy music and dancing lessons; swimming, soccer and other sports; or go to school camp with their friends. After Sarah died her family set up the Fund with Barnardos, to celebrate her life and give other children the kinds of opportunities that she had.

On 26 November Sarah’s dad Paddy is taking on the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge again. He’s aiming to stay on his bike for the full 160 kilometres this year!

Please support his efforts so more children can enjoy sporting, creative and social activities.

About us

For 60 years, we’ve been part of communities throughout the motu. Today, our mahi across social services, early learning services contributes to Barnardos’ vision of ‘an Aotearoa where every child shines bright’.

We advocate to drive change at the systems-level, so that national laws, policies, practices, and institutions meet the needs of all children and tamariki, and respect, protect and uphold their rights.

We offer early learning services to all under-fives, to create strong foundations for children’s educational and life outcomes.

We provide social support services to children and whānau in our communities facing really tough times – including those who have experienced family violence, addiction, neglect and abuse, and those struggling with mental health issues.

Every day, we’re making a positive, long-lasting difference in children's lives.
