Youthline Wellington's 2023 Digital Appeal

Each year, Youthline Wellington holds our Annual Street Appeal. Since COVID-19's arrival in Aotearoa, we have adapted this significant fundraising opportunity to be an online Digital Appeal in order to continue keeping our community safe whilst generating funds for our services.
Youthline Wellington has been supporting young people and their communities for over 50 years. Our services include our 24/7 National helpline, and our local services; Youth Development Programme, Mental Health Peer Support Programme, Ongoing Education Programme and tailored workshops for young people and the community. As a non-government organisation (NGO) and a not-for-profit, we rely on the generosity of funders and our community in order to continue supporting young people.

​So from 2nd May - 15th May (ending in Youth Week) we are connecting with our community in order to raise funds for our services!
