Our Partners
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, What’s Up remains a free and accessible service for tamariki and rangatahi across Aotearoa. This vital mahi is only possible because of the incredible support from our community. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment and belief in our work shown by the following partners:
The Milford Foundation
The Milford Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the future of communities in Aotearoa by leveraging Milford’s financial resources, investment expertise, and commercial discipline.

Milford
“What's Up is a vital service for young people across Aotearoa, providing free, accessible support when it is needed most. Milford and Milford Foundation have been proud to support this work through our partnership with Barnardos for more than a decade. We share a belief that every young person deserves someone to turn to, and we're grateful for the impact the What's Up team has each day in helping tamariki and rangatahi feel heard, supported, and connected.”
Office Max
OfficeMax supports schools and organisations across Aotearoa with a wide range of essential products and solutions. Their dedication to building inclusive and equitable communities is reflected in their proud sponsorship of What’s Up. By promoting the service through their Education Channel, they ensure more tamariki and rangatahi know how to access the support they need. We are truly grateful for this valued partnership.
