'Pike River' Movie Fundraiser

Miners’ Promise warmly invites you to our special movie fundraiser where we will screen the powerful film 'Pike River' which tells the incredible true story of two women whose friendship gave them the strength to fight for justice following the 2010 Pike River Mine tragedy, which claimed the lives of 29 men underground.

We are especially privileged to have Jo Ufer, who lost her son Joshua in the Pike River disaster to be speaking at this fund raiser.  After losing her son Josh, Jo became a passionate advocate for workplace safety as well supporting families navigating the aftermath of work-related fatalities and life-changing injuries. 

Professionally, Jo has over 15 years’ experience working within the mining industry in Queensland and New South Wales as dedicated Human Resources professional, a career that combines her passion for working with, caring for and bringing out the very best in people.  In April 2026 Jo joined Miners’ Promise as an Ambassador.

We wouldn't be able to host this event without the generous support of our event sponsor, Gold Industry Group.
