This Saturday: Support MND at Bunnings sausage sizzles nationwide

This Saturday 06 June, Bunnings stores across Aotearoa will be firing up the barbecues in support of MND Action Month — and we’d love you to stop by. 

From 9am to 3pm, more than 260 incredible volunteers will be on the tongs at 42 Bunnings locations nationwide, raising vital funds and sparking conversations about motor neurone disease (MND). 
 

How you can support 

It’s easy. Visit your local Bunnings to: 

• 🌭 Buy a sausage or drink 

• 🪙 Make an optional donation 

• 💬 Stop for a chat and learn more about MND 

• 💙 Show visible support for people living with a disease that doesn’t wait 
   

Every purchase or donation helps fund personalised support, advocacy, and research for people living with MND, at no cost to them. Your presence is a powerful symbol that people with MND and their loved ones are not alone. 

 
Why it matters 

MND is a terminal neurological condition that affects how people move, speak, swallow, and breathe. There is no cure — and for the more than 400 New Zealanders living with MND, time matters. 

Every sausage and drink sold helps fund: 

• Personalised support for people living with MND and their whānau 

• Advocacy to improve care and access 

• Research to better understand the disease 
   

Just as importantly, these sausage sizzles bring MND into everyday conversations — helping build understanding, visibility, and compassion in our communities. 

More than a sausage sizzle 

Some Bunnings stores will also be hosting Ice Bucket Challenges on the day — bold, eye‑catching moments designed to grab attention and get people talking as part of MND Action Month. 

Whether you’re buying a sausage, stopping for a chat, or cheering on a volunteer, every action helps make time count. 
 

A huge thank you 

We want to say a big, heartfelt thank you to the volunteers giving up their Saturday, and to Bunnings for once again backing the MND community. Your generosity, energy, and willingness to show up makes a real difference.
