Tim Pare

In the workplace, my first love is the charity I co-founded with my wife in the tea estates of Sri Lanka, now run by young people of the tea estates for their peers with a little guidance and fundraising from us.

I co-lead The Funding Network NZ, supporting grassroots charities to plan and deliver online crowdfunding campaigns - developing skill sets as well as raising vital funds and profile.

I am passionate about making the world a bit better everyday. I am a committed community-builder and an ally to marginalised groups. I work to uplift others whose voices are too often ignored. I am a problem-solver and a believer in the power, tenacity and sheer bloodymindedness of young people. I am a facilitator, a small charity coach, a servant leader and more motivated by cause than cash.

I am a husband to Yasmene and father to Hadeeqa.
