Ever been punched in the gut by a societal issue? That's how it feels tackling the lack of wrap-around services for underprivileged children in our communities.

As we showcase the amazing work of the "I Have a Dream" charity in this episode, we're reminded of just how vital these services are. This charity pairs kids with navigators to guide them through school and into adulthood – a truly inspirational approach. 

Chris Twiss is the CEO of the "I Have a Dream." charitable trust. He sits down with me to give us an intimate look into the importance of building relationships with children in challenging communities, the impact of intergenerational challenges, and how we can all play a part in transforming lives. 

The harsh realities faced by some kids in New Zealand are very real, and the commendable efforts of organisations like "I Have a Dream," should not go unnoticed. But there is an urgent need for private donors and businesses to invest in these initiatives.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation about the transformative power of charities and the importance of amplifying this work.
