Support Nelson's youth! Ensure that every child who needs a mentor has a mentor. Get involved, run, walk, wheel or simply support our cause.

Nelson / Tasman

Child/youth mentoring organisation Big Brothers Big Sisters will be the main beneficiary of the popular City2Saxton event in 2019.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nelson-Tasman has been serving the children of the Nelson-Tasman community for 20 years. It was one of the founding regions in New Zealand and, with nearly 200 matches, is the largest mentoring programme in the country. Big Brothers Big Sisters is an international organisation which has been operating for over 100 years in 13 countries and serves more than 280,000 children in need.

The vision of Big Brothers Big Sisters is that every child who needs a mentor, has a mentor. Funds raised will be spent on recruiting, training, supervising and supporting volunteer mentors so we can reduce our waiting list of 37 children needing a mentor.

This event is a fantastic way for mentors and mentees to join together and participate in the event, and also to raise funds and awareness about our programme.
