Birkenhead Playcentre - Not your typical fundraiser

Our children love exploring the parks & bush around our beautiful suburb. At Birkenhead Playcentre we value our natural environment and make an effort to reuse, recycle & compost where we can.

Instead of trying to sell ‘things’ as a typical fundraiser would, we have decided that we want to try and make a difference to our local community and ask for your support!

We will be exploring our local parks (including: Onepoto domain, Birkenhead War Memorial Park, Le Roys Bush & Shepherds Park ) over the week 20- 26th July 2015 and cleaning up, by picking up rubbish.

This will have two keys benefits, firstly our children will have fun exploring the outdoors and secondly we will leave the parks and bush in a better condition than we found it! Its win-win!

We ask that you support us by making a donation big or small. We know in these tough times that every dollar counts- and so we value any contribution you are able to make :)

Any money received will go a long way to helping improve the experience of the children at Birkenhead Playcentre.

Specifically, we have a project to improve our outdoor bank area- it is currently an unused slope area, and we have a plan to create a punga koru to enable the children to play & hide in this space, to create a mock-river bed with a hand driven pump for water play. We already have our own rain tank to provide the water! Funds are required for getting plans drawn & finalized, purchasing the materials and getting skilled people to put it all together so we have a quality outdoor play environment for our tamariki!
