This page is to help Andrew Fairweather raise funds to compete at the 2026 Para-Badminton World Championships in Bahrain

Cambridge, Waikato

Hi, my name is Andrew, I'm a 17 years old with cerebral palsy who plays para-badminton.

In October I competed at the Oceania Para-badminton Championships where I and my men's doubles partner won the silver medal. We then went on to play in the Australian Para-badminton International where we got into the quarter finals.

We are now ranked 2nd in Oceania and 33rd in the world for men’s SL3-SL4 doubles. Our rankings mean we have qualified to attend the Para-Badminton World Championships that are being held in Bahrain, 8-14 February 2026.

I want to represent NZ at the World Championships. To help me achieve this goal your support would be appreciated.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
