Hope Home

Hurford’s have proudly sponsored the ‘Home for Hope’ charity build by Fowler Homes, Gumboot Friday and the I Am Hope Foundation. A huge $404,000 was raised and has gone directly to the I Am Hope Foundation.

The Hope Home. Proudly partnering to build a better New Zealand.

The home was successfully auctioned Friday 1st November 2024, and has raised a huge $404,000 which has gone directly to the I Am Hope Foundation. The Foundation will use this money to continue to provide free counselling and support for young people 25 years and under around Aotearoa!

Hurford’s are beyond proud to have been part of this project, we donated 95m2 of Genuine Oak timber flooring and partnered with JB Timber Floors & Just Timber Floors who generously donated their time for the flooring installation.

Youth mental health in New Zealand is deteriorating as the demand for mental health services and support skyrockets. Over the past decade, I Am Hope has engaged with more than 300,000 children in schools across New Zealand with initiatives including tailoring books for the youngest demographic in primary schools.

Its renowned Gumboot Friday free counselling service has experienced a surge of over 500% in the last two years alone. Currently, the platform supports more than 3,400 free sessions each month, totalling $510,000.
