Your donation, no matter the amount, helps us achieve these goals and make a meaningful difference. There are many ways you can get involved. 

What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is a way to collect small donations from many people to support a shared cause. We’re aiming to raise $500,000 to continue our vital work with young carers throughout 2025. If we can mobilize 50,000 people to donate $10 each then we'll reach our goal!

With your support we can...
  • Identify Young Carers: Find and reach out to young carers who need support.

  • Provide Mental Health Support: Offer holistic healing to support their mental health.

  • Engage with Schools: Work directly with schools to spot and assist young carers.

  • Offer Tutoring: Provide academic help to support their education.

  • Help Them Achieve Their Dreams: Assist with career guidance and opportunities.

  • Conduct Research: Gather data to advocate for government support and secure ongoing funding.

Check out some of the Fundraisers in Action

Our community is rallying together to support the Unseen Heroes crowdfunding campaign with a variety of exciting fundraisers. 

Our Mission
To transform the lives of Young Carers by providing holistic healing and an environment and opportunities to connect, heal, have fun and learn. 

Te Ara Mārama

Te Ara Mārama is here to support young carers who face the unique challenges of balancing caregiving with their own needs. We understand how tough it can be to manage mental health struggles, stay on track with school, or find your direction in life. Our programme offers a caring and supportive path towards personal growth and leadership with a strong focus on holistic healing. After completing Te Ara Mārama, those who have been committed to their healing journey can join our leadership programme, where we continue to provide the support and assistance needed for their mental health and future success.

If you're a young carer facing challenges and seeking support, please reach out and enroll in Te Ara Mārama. We understand how difficult it can be, and we're here to guide and support you. 

If you know someone who could benefit from this program—whether they’re a friend, family member, student at your school, or a young carer in your service—please feel free to refer them to us. We warmly welcome and appreciate all referrals.

Are you a Young Carer?

If you’re not too sure whether you (or someone you know) might be a Young Carer, a great place to start is this quiz!

 

While we acknowledge that every caring role is different, and that not all Young Carers feel that they need to access support, we’re also incredibly passionate about raising awareness, promoting inclusivity and advocating for young people in caring roles!

Change a life today

Your contributions whether big or small helps us to find and support more Young Carers
