Cheekee Hero Charity

About this business

Community, Health, Education and Social Services Micro Business – 1 to 5 FTE employees

Cheekee Hero is a whānau-led grassroots charity, dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and raising awareness of tamariki (children), rangatahi (teenagers), and their whānau (families) with different abilities. Our impact is driven by our super robot named Cheekee, who inspires children to recognise that neurodiversity, disability, and illness can change the world for the better. Through the kindness, resilience, and joy of all children, Cheekee grows stronger and is fueled by the positive impact our community creates. Through our work we make everyone feel connected because we believe that stories can heal, inspire and change lives. Our mission is to harness the power of storytelling as a superpower that supports the health and well-being outcomes of children and youth facing significant health issues and our slogan, Make Change FUNNER is our commitment to harnessing that power.
