Go Bags for our Rangatahi

Feeling overwhelmed by the world?

Want to do something that matters but don't know what?

Need to take an action that makes a difference?

Same here.

The team at Kick Back Make Change on Karangahape Road provide a safe space for our Rangatahi to hang out, rest & access support.

One thing they need to care for our most at risk rangatahi is Go-Bags. These are set up, ready to grab bags that contain everything a young person needs for emergency accomodation while the team supports into something more stable & long term.

We're putting together 10 bags before we close out for the year.

Each bag will include the following:

A set of sheets, a blanket, pillow & towel

Toiletries (toothbrush, paste, mouthwash, hairwash, bodywash, lotion, sunblock, insect repellent, deodorant)

Something to snack (chocolate, popcorn, sweets, noodles)

Something to do (sketch pad & pencils & a book to read)

Something to hold (a weighted soft-toy)

This is something we can do, right now, today, to awhi & tautoko our rangatahi.

George Street Linens has generously donated the towels. To complete a bag will cost another $245.00. Ten bags will cost $2450.00. If we raise any more than that we will forward the funds directly to Kick Back to spend on our rangatahi.
