  • Christmas for little angels

    NORMAL should not be ’survival’ but it is for so many kiwi kids.

    The wish lists make us sad. When a teen asks for shampoo. Or a grandparent raising several moko (Grandchildren) asks for back packs and stationery for Christmas; when an 11 year old boy asks for a white singlet and any colour shorts please.

    Let’s bring some JOY to vulnerable kids across Tai Tokerau-Northland.

    Our annual Angels Christmas helps bring joy to over 1200 taitamariki ( children & youth). It’s way more than a gift or kai. Sharing the fun of Christmas and a happy family gathering should be every child’s right. We can’t fix the real problems, but if we can relieve some stress and empower a family to share fun together, that could prevent all sorts of problems. Anecdotally, Police have told us it potentially reduces crime and harm.

    Our Partner agencies identify the most deserving and needy whānau, and they deliver to them, wrapping additional care around them and offering support. This is NOT just a hand out. It is so much more. Plunket recounted the story of finally getting access to a home, and being able to assess the needs of both children and adults. They loved seeing a 7 year old unwrap a gift then pick up a toddler to read to them.

    ‘Normal’ should not be no running water and no electricity, no fuel and no shower- but for many it is.

    Anything you can give will help us make a difference.

  • WARNING! Angels are flying

      24 January 2025
    Main image

    With your help, business sponsors and donors, over 100 volunteers and 20 partner agencies we delivered 2386 Kai Boxes and gifts to 402 vulnerable whānau. 1265 children experienced the joy of Christmas and received a gift, specially chosen for them by social workers who are working with their families.

    They say it takes a village to raise a child, and you are part of our village. So THANK YOU for supporting us as we head into another year, destined to be challenging for us...but so much more challenging for the tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people) we work for. Your support not only helps with the practical getting things done (because it all costs something) but also buoys us up, knowing you care and we have an amazing community of good hearted people. THIS is what changes lives and supports our tamariki to be their best selves. Ngā mihi nui- we respect and value you so much.

    Please join us on our Facebook and Instagram for regular pics and stories , and/or subscribe to our newsletter (via our website) for less regular updates.

  • Christmas 2023 is happening for 1319 vulnerable children because of you

      18 December 2023
    Main image

    Yes, 1319 tamariki will be smiling this Christmas because you cared.

    Thank you so much for the amazing support.

    of course it's more than just the gifts or the kai...it's knowing people cared enough to pack the boxes, choose and wrap the gifts. And we do care enough. Over 90 volunteers have helped and over 800 volunteer hours went into this 2023 Angel Christmas.

    Every gift is chosen by social service partners & Angels who really care about that child. Wrappers pack aroha into each parcel. Our volunteers all gave up time and energy to make a difference, and YOU donated so we could buy the kai and make this happen. So THANK YOU for making a difference.

    You matter.

  • CHRISTMAS for ALL our children 2023

      10 November 2023
    Main image

    It's not ok when kids ask for hair shampoo and conditioner for Christmas. It's not ok when grandparents are raising moko and ask for school stationery for Christmas. It's not ok when families are living in sheds with no electricity or running water in Aotearoa.

    But this is real.

    And YOUR support makes a real difference.

    Not only will these families receive a huge Kai Box and gifts for the tamariki, but they'll be delivered by people who care-from Iwi Social Services, Police, Plunket, Hospice etc....so additional care and support is wrapped around the the whānau. That's part of the magic of how we roll here at Bald Angels. We don't just give out- we wrap around. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! And it ALL goes directly to tamariki in need- that's a promise.

  • XMAS 2023 Kai Boxes

      10 November 2023

    Wow! Thank you for helping us support tamariki with Christmas this year! We are so grateful and together we can make a difference.

    When an 11 yr has shampoo and conditioner on their Christmas wish list, it's just heartbreaking. Her mama has terminal cancer and she is her sole caregiver. That child needs our love and attention.

    We have a dedicated Givealittle Page for this Christmas project but wherever you want to help us is great! You ARE bringing joy to precious little ones and their families and that is just so precious.

  • April Update...

      17 April 2023

    Cyclones and floods (and old age?) mean the year has flown! It's hard to stop for a breath. We hope you've stayed safe!

    Your donations help us keep delivering the mahi, and it's more important than ever as inflation and hard times mean whānau are under more stress.

    A lot more of our time has been invested in mentoring vulnerable youth this year, and it's making a difference. Anything you can give to help us support young people by connecting them with people they can trust who elevate, empower and build confidence is appreciated.

    We just want to let you know we appreciate you.
