Archibald & Shorter Supporting Mitey - the Sir John Kirwan Foundation

Archibald & Shorter are delighted to be backing Sir John Kirwan as he embarks on his Mitey Drive across Aotearoa!

New Zealand has one of the worst mental health statistics of any OECD country. 75% of Kiwi’s think our children will face more mental health issues than the generation before them.

An incredible three-quarters of New Zealanders believe this generation of children are at greater risk of mental health issues that the generations before them. It’s time to make a change.

We invite you to join us in raising over $100,000 for this crucial Mitey mission.

All proceeds go to The Sir John Kirwan Foundation.

Who are Mitey and why is Land Rover involved?

Mitey is a New Zealand specific, Years 1-8 approach to embedding mental health education in both teaching and learning. It’s evidence based, aligns to individual school cultures and values and is supported by a range of curriculum based resources. Mitey helps NZ children build the necessary and age appropriate skills, knowledge and understanding they need to nurture their own emotional wellbeing and those of others. Mitey believes that if children are mentally and emotionally healthy they are better equipped to face the challenges life brings.

Land Rover NZ have an ambitious goal to raise more than $1 Million for the Sir John Kirwan Foundation. This will allow Mitey to be rolled out to 40 new schools, benefitting an estimated 11,000 kiwi kids.
