Make Give Live

Vision - A world where handcrafted creativity empowers human connection and helps communities thrive.

Mission - To bring people together through the joy of making, creating handmade products that support wellbeing, connection, and charitable impact across Aotearoa.

Make Give Live is a purpose-driven community that brings people together through the joy of making. What began as a small group of knitters creating items for those in need has grown into a vibrant network of makers across Aotearoa, united by creativity, connection, and a shared desire to give back.

At its heart, Make Give Live is about more than the products we create , it’s about the people behind them. Through workshops, events, and shared making experiences, we foster a sense of belonging, support wellbeing, and create space for meaningful human connection in an increasingly busy world.

Every item made carries a story of care. Through the sale of thoughtfully crafted goods, we generate funds that are reinvested into community initiatives, charitable causes, and programmes that support those who need it most. In this way, creativity becomes a powerful tool for positive impact ,benefiting both the makers and the wider community.
Make Give Live exists to show that small acts, made by many hands, can create lasting change.
