Graeme Dingle Foundation Southern Excellence Awards 2026

Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating the achievements and mahi of our tamariki, rangatahi, mentors, volunteers, and staff. Hear the stories of resilience, growth, and dedication from across our Southern region over the past year. 🏆

This special evening is an opportunity to celebrate the young people who have grown, overcome obstacles, and achieved incredible things throughout their journey with the Graeme Dingle Foundation's programmes. We’ll also recognise the mentors, volunteers, and staff who walk alongside them, helping create opportunities for young people to build confidence, resilience, and a positive future.

Come together with our Southern community to celebrate their stories, achievements, and the difference they are making. Don’t miss this opportunity to recognise and celebrate the people who make our work so meaningful. 💚
