Be part of an extraordinary evening at the inaugural Barnardos Foundation Gala Dinner, proudly presented by Willis Bond and LT McGuinness, where generosity, leadership, and purpose come together to create brighter futures for children and families across Aotearoa.

This special event will bring together passionate supporters, business and community leaders, and advocates for change for an evening of fine dining, inspiring guest speakers, and exclusive live and silent auction experiences.

Every ticket, bid, and connection made on the night supports the Barnardos Foundation and the wider work of Barnardos Aotearoa, helping fund innovation, research, and services that shift the dial for tamariki and whānau where the need is greatest. By investing in bold ideas and long-term solutions, we help create lasting change for generations to come.

Join us to connect, be inspired, and help every child shine bright.
