On the 27th of February, 2009, twenty-year-old Nicholas Buttifant took his own life.
Nick was a talented musician who had the world at his feet. To those who knew him, he was an energetic, passionate young man, always able to make others smile. Losing him turned the lives of his friends and family upside down.
Out of this indescribable tragedy, the N.I.C.K. Foundation was born. With the sole aim of giving today's youth hope for tomorrow, N.I.C.K. set out to instill self-belief, compassion and resilience in young people and their families. The organisation's workshops and presentations are built around the act of sharing personal experiences, and provide not only a safe environment for discussion, but also a toolkit for overcoming the challenges of life.
The N.I.C.K. Foundation was named in honour of Nick Buttifant, and from the letters of his first name we found our core values: Nurturing, Independence, Commitment and Knowledge. Our logo encapsulates the idea of rising every time you fall - just as the phoenix rises from its ashes.
