Dave Letele, Ulalei Letele, Judith Loane and Anele Bamber – Auckland
BBM Kai
Former professional boxer Dave Letele founded BBM Motivation in 2014 across the Auckland region to help people lose weight in a healthy sustainable way.
Its vision statement is to “Reduce obesity amongst Maori and Pacific People in New Zealand through education thereby enabling them to choose a healthy and active life-style for the duration of their lives, their children, their wider family and the community”.
The TSB Good Stuff grant will support BBM to launch ‘BBM Kai’, a programme in South Auckland which will provide free weekly community educational workshops, teaching people how to cook healthy meals for themselves and their families.
