The BBM Programme is a wellbeing initiative like no other. From the founder, Dave Letele’s, magnetic energy, to the transformed lives of Māori and Pacific and the wider community of people, or the (literal) tonnes of weight BBM participants have lost, it’s clear that this social enterprise is doing something special. BBM is focused on educating, supporting, and training New Zealand communities that have been struggling with obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The focus is on health and wellness, exercise, mental health and culture, key aspects of the Te Whare Tapa Wha/Fono Fale health models. They do this by running free boot camps all over Auckland, and now also in Tokoroa and in the process have created a community where thousands of people have supported each other to change their lives and continue to do so. Alongside this BBM Food share also provides food parcels to vulnerable families and those struggling in the current economic environment.  BBM has also opened a Social Supermarket which is a contemporary take on the traditional food bank approach, providing food support with greater levels of choice and dignity. People experiencing food insecurity choose what they need for themselves in a supermarket-style environment, rather than being given a pre-filled food parcel that might not meet the specific dietary and cultural needs or the personal preferences of the family. Food is what we do, so we’re delighted to be involved in such an awesome movement.
