Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome to Cheekee Hero Charity
CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE
Cheekee Hero is a whānau-run charity.
We celebrate, support and raise awareness of tamariki (children), rangatahi (youth) and their whānau (families) with different abilities. Our tagline CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE is our mission. We will connect families with different abilities; amplify children's superpowers and create change by working collaboratively with charities and organisations, individuals and their families with neurodiversity, disability and illness to empower and champion each other.
We're powered by a fun digital super robot named Cheekee who helps children realise that their neurodiversity, disability or illness can change the world for good, in turn Cheekee is made stronger through the kindness, resilience, and joy of all children and can only be seen by those who exhibit these values.
Come with Cheekee and lets make CHANGE funner!

Our Story
|
"I was introduced to Cheekee Hero, as part of my project and placemaking work for the Orakei Local Board, supporting local community groups with their projects. Jazz and her whanau are an inspiration, not only in meeting their own challenges, but with their passion and energy to help and make a difference to other families on the same journey. It was wonderful seeing the local Community supporting Cheekee Hero, fundraising to give back to the Child Cancer Foundation, by volunteering for the National Street Appeal - it was an awesome day! It is a pleasure and a privilege to support Cheekee Hero on this and other projects as they continue to shine a light on child cancer. Glow gold!"

Donate
Founded with a vision to CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE Cheekee Hero represents unheard voices through storytelling, digital art, creative technology and combining the collective power of all charities and organisations that represent persons with neurodiversity, disabilities and illnesses.
We're on a mission to change the narrative by creating our uniquely, entertaining and empathetic digital storybook series told through an indigenous lens, to inspire, heal others and pave the way for creatives of different abilities to share their experiences with each other and educate society.
We would love to have you join our Cheekee Hero whānau through a donation to support our kaupapa.
Please know that your donation is allocated purposefully so that we are able to connect superpowers, amplify inclusion and create a collective movement of collaboration (and does not go to any admin costs).
