Last year I got an email that I was SURE was from a Nigerian scammer. A woman offering me the chance to nominate a charity of my choosing for $35k!? Now that doesn't happen everyday!

Thankfully, it was no scam. Paul Newman's Own Foundation (who make the salad dressing!) had seen my campaign over 2018-2019 for Soap For Society and noticed the good work The Wellington City Mission and the community had achieved. They asked if I would be keen to nominate a charity - and so after a suspicious phone call I said YES!

Of course, it had to be Wellington City Mission who have been so inspiring to work with. We're aiming to bring back Soap For Society in August 2021. It aims to help boost donations of hygiene products for people in need - who need toothbrushes, soaps, razors and the like.

This money will go towards putting up more posters, getting communications help and doing some research on hygiene poverty in New Zealand.
