Lace Up for Hope: Marathon for The Youth Health Hub

Alexander James are lacing up our sneakers for the Auckland Marathon to support the incredible work of the Youth Health Hub/HealthWEST Ltd, especially through the Rainbow Shed. By joining us, you're helping to provide crucial resources for young people and their families in need.

The Youth Health Hub/HealthWEST Ltd offers a range of services for youth living in West Auckland, North Shore, and Rodney. Through their ‘Choices to Wellbeing’ Programme for example, they provide free access to mental health clinicians, counselors, youth workers, and mentors, focusing on early intervention for mental health concerns. They assist young people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationship issues, offering up to four talk therapy sessions or eight mentoring sessions at no cost.

A cornerstone of the Hub is the Rainbow Shed, a vital resource providing clothing, bedding, kitchen items, and personal hygiene products to those in need. This initiative uplifts spirits by ensuring our youth have access to basic necessities that everyone should have access to.

Every stride we take in the marathon and every dollar you donate helps sustain these life-changing services. Join us in supporting the Youth Health Hub/HealthWEST Ltd and making a difference in the lives of young people. Your support lights their path to a brighter, healthier future.
