Help 100 Pride Lands

Help 100 is Pride Lands’ commitment to ensuring that no child misses out on the care, support, and opportunities they deserve because of their circumstances. The programme supports children and young people across the Wellington region who are unable to access the support they need elsewhere.

Help 100
Supporting Children Across Wellington

Every child deserves the opportunity to feel safe, supported, and connected. Through Help 100, Pride Lands helps children access safe, inclusive environments where they can build confidence, resilience, life skills, and meaningful relationships with trusted adults. Our goal is to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the challenges they may face.

Why Children Need Help

Children may require extra support for many different reasons. They may be experiencing financial hardship, challenging home environments, family instability, be neurodiverse, or face circumstances that make it difficult to access the opportunities and support they need. Many children also fall outside the criteria for existing services, leaving them without access to programmes that could make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Help 100 bridges that gap by providing children with positive experiences, trusted support, and a sense of belonging. Early intervention can have a lasting impact, helping children build confidence, strengthen their wellbeing, and reach their full potential.

Read about the difference Help 100 can make

Good evening! I just wanted to write in and say thank you to the Help 100 sponsorship.

Help 100 made a real difference for our family.
Both of my sons, Larson and Harvey, were fortunate enough to receive sponsorship through the Help 100 programme and attend Pride Lands Adventure Weekends. These experiences provided them with opportunities they may not otherwise have had, and the positive impact has been significant.
The Adventure Weekends gave them the chance to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, make new friends, and experience new activities in a safe and supportive environment. They returned home excited, proud of what they had achieved, and eager to share their stories and experiences.
As a parent, it was wonderful to see them being included, encouraged, and given opportunities to grow. The support provided through Help 100 extends beyond the individual child. It benefits the whole family by creating positive experiences, building resilience, and helping children develop important social and life skills.

I am incredibly grateful to the sponsors who make Help 100 possible and to the Pride Lands team for the care, encouragement, and opportunities they provide. The programme has had a genuine and lasting impact on both Larson and Harvey, and I would wholeheartedly encourage others to support this initiative.

As a mother, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Help 100 for sponsoring my 13-year-old daughter, Mānea, to attend Pride Weekend in June 2026. This wonderful opportunity was made possible through the generosity and kindness of donors who support the important work that Help 100 does for young people and their families.

For Mānea, attending Pride Weekend was more than just an event. It was an opportunity to be part of a welcoming and inclusive environment where she could feel accepted, celebrated, and connected with others. Experiences like this can have a lasting impact on a young person's confidence, sense of belonging, and personal growth.

As a parent, it means so much to know that organisations like Help 100 are willing to invest in opportunities that positively influence the lives of young people. Without this sponsorship, attending Pride Weekend may not have been possible for our family. Your support helped create memories, friendships, and experiences that Mānea will carry with her for years to come.

On behalf of our whānau, thank you to Help 100 and every donor who contributes so generously. Your support makes a real and meaningful difference, and we are deeply appreciative of the opportunities you provide for young people to thrive and feel valued.

Thank you to the Help 100 supporters

We are incredibly grateful to the Help 100 supporters who gave Billie the opportunity to attend a Pride Lands Adventure Weekend.
The experience has been a real highlight of her year. It gave her the chance to try new things, meet other young people, step outside her comfort zone and experience a sense of independence and belonging.

We’ve seen Billie grow in confidence this year, and opportunities like this have played an important part in that. She came away with new experiences, great memories and a real sense of pride in what she was able to achieve.

Thank you for making opportunities like this accessible to young people who may not otherwise get the chance. Your generosity has made a genuine difference to Billie and our family, and we are so grateful.
