services.

vital cause,” said Jan
Nicol-Winitana, Managing Director. Sharp Corporation of New Zealand. “Supporting
mental health is essential for our communities, and through initiatives like
Gumboot Friday, we can help ensure that young people have access to the
resources they need.”

mission resonates deeply with Sharp’s values, emphasising the importance of
mental health in achieving overall wellbeing. The partnership will include
community engagement initiatives and fundraising activities leading up to
Gumboot Friday, encouraging individuals and organisations to participate and
show their support.
“We are
thrilled to have Sharp Corporation on board as a partner for Gumboot Friday,” said Mike King, Founding Ambassador, I Am
Hope. “Their support to help us reach
more young people in need of mental health resources, ensuring that no one has
to face their struggles alone is greatly appreciated.”

through its channels and encouraging employees to participate in fundraising
activities. The company invites other local businesses and community members to
join in this initiative to make a meaningful impact.
