Big Buddy New Zealand
Big Buddy is all about building confidence and resilience in the lives of boys whose father is not around. This is done by matching volunteers, good guys from the community with boys aged between 7 -14 years. They simply spend time together, a few hours a week and provides a real anchor for the young boys as they grow up.
One of the co-founders of Chuffed, Alex Howard, is one of the over 1000 “little Buddies’ who has benefited from the big buddy programme and {{{Get quote from Alex and how much he wants to share} so we are super proud to support this programme at Chuffed Gifts.
