Candoo Good Project: BBM's Barry Gets A Fresh Lawn Makeover

Written by Dan Doo | Nov 30, 2025 11:00:00 PM

At Candoo, we’re all about doing some good throughout our local Auckland and New Zealand communities. Our ongoing passion project: the Candoo Good Project and partnership with BBM (Buttabean Motivation) is a perfect example of how small acts of service can make a massive difference.

Barry, a proud BBM member for over five years, needed support getting his property ready for an upcoming home rental inspection. His lawn and front yard had grown out of control, so the Candoo Crew reached out to give him the helping hand he needed!

 

Barry’s BBM Journey: Strength, Health & Transformation

Barry isn’t just a community member, he’s a success story.

Over his five years with Dave Letele's BBM, he’s:

  • Quit smoking
  • Turned his nutrition around
  • Stayed committed to training
  • Transformed his physical and mental health

He often talks about how the BBM classes have changed his life — not just his fitness, but his mindset, motivation, and belief in himself. Stories like Barry’s are why BBM continues to be a powerful force for positive change in Aotearoa. 

We're so honoured to have had the chance to step in and help! Barry is exactly the type of person we want to support with the Candoo Good Project — whether it’s home cleaning, lawn care, or garden services, we’re here to make a positive difference in the places we call home.

A Lawn Mowed, A Community Lifted

Our team arrived ready to work on his lawn and gardens — whipper snippers, mowers, and a whole lot of heart. We brought Barry’s lawn back to life, making sure his home was inspection-ready and giving him some breathing room during what might have been a stressful week!

"We can't thank Candoo enough for what they've done for us,"  Barry says in our video with him.

No Barry, thank you!

Sometimes taking one job off someone’s plate can open the door to confidence, motivation, and relief. And we're happy to have given you that.

 

Candoo Good Project: Partnering for Community Impact

The Candoo Good Project was created to support people like Barry — everyday New Zealanders who sometimes just need a little boost. Whether it’s home maintenance, cleaning, lawn care, or simple help around the house, we’re here to give back in any way we can and help people move forward.

If you’d like to support the BBM From The Couch programme and get quality home services at the same time, you can book your next clean or mow service here. 10% of every booking goes back to supporting BBM and their programmes.
