FRANKIE FRIDAY – GUMBOOT FRIDAY!
Hi Frankie here today my friend Shade is standing in to support Gumboot Friday
Today swap your usual shoes for gumboots to support an amazing cause – Gumboot Friday!
Gumboot Friday helps young New Zealanders aged 5–25 access free counselling. Because when our young people need help, they should be able to get it when they need it, before it’s too late.
Government support helps fund counselling, while community support keeps Gumboot Friday going and helps spread the word so more young people know where to turn.
This Friday, 6th November 2026, we're getting behind Gumboot Friday to help raise awareness and support its vision of becoming recognised as New Zealand's Mental Health Day – a day when Kiwis everywhere can Gumboot Up and help raise funds for young people who need support.
Let's get behind this fantastic cause, pull on those gumboots and show our support!
Because no young person should have to face things alone.
