Where your impact goes

New Zealand has some of the worst youth mental health statistics globally. Upstream exists to help turn this around by targeting funding into the areas that matter most. Below are the impact areas your contributions directly flow into.

Youth Workers journey alongside young people in schools and the community, offering guidance and support so they feel seen, valued, and empowered through life’s greatest highs and lows.

Counselling Subsidies

For many families, the cost of ongoing counselling creates a barrier for young people/children needing these services. Upstream funds subsidised counselling sessions so our young people can get the support they need.

Disability & Mentoring Support

Children with disabilities, Whānau support and mentoring are just some of the other spaces your impact goes straight too. We’re proud to partner with Charities that support our tamariki through a range of services.
