If you don’t know anything about Mike King, he is a mental health advocate whose mission is to knock down barriers and shame around mental health and create an open dialogue about mental health awareness. Hope Wines will be donating $1 from every bottle of wine sold to the Gumboot Friday Funds so that our kiwi kids can have access to the funding they need so that they can receive the treatment that many young people don't have the adequate access to. Youth are having to wait for up to ten weeks to see a registered mental health practitioner, whilst the average wait time for the gumboot Friday fund is seven days. So next time you go to grab a bottle of wine, reach for Hope Wines and make giving back as simple as cheers.
