Become a Brake Champion

We are calling on people across New Zealand who feel passionately about road safety to become a Brake Champion. Our Brake Champions are the face of Brake within communities. Brake is a small charity, run by a team of dedicated staff in our national office, but we need YOUR help to reach out to even more people across communities.

Why become a Brake Champion?
Being a Brake Champion is a great way to support the charity. Here are just some of the reasons why you should get involved:

• Have the opportunity to make a difference
• Help us continue our dedicated work preventing road death and injuries
• Meet new people and form new friendships
• Share experiences and have fun
• Receive support from other Brake volunteers

What does it involve?

• Being a representative of Brake in your local area
• Organising events and activities to raise funds for our charity
• Placing and maintaining collection boxes in local shops and businesses
• Helping raise awareness, locally, about our road safety campaigns
• Supporting local road safety campaigns needing extra help and voices
• Attending events as a Brake representative

You won't be on your own!
Brake staff can support you with anything you need. As our network of Brake Champions grows, we will also put you in touch with other Brake Champions.

We recognise that people are busy; don't worry, being a Brake Champion means that you can be as involved as YOU want to be! Your time and effort, however small, will be recognised and appreciated.
