Help us to fund a Holiday Camp for children with disabilities.

Club R & R 2020, Awesome Camp for Awesome Kids

As we enter the festive time of celebration and cheer, it is also important to consider those who may be a little less fortunate.

Many children with disabilities are unable to participate fully in the festive season; some are unable to read a book or play with toys without support.

Children with disabilities often are unable to attend holiday programmes, let alone a fun camp with their siblings and peers -the level of support required is prohibitive to their attendance.

So, in 2018, the concept of Club R&R was born seeking to provide a safe, healthy and appropriate camp for children attending Conductive Education in Taranaki, along with their siblings. Through much dedication and the support of some generous benefactors we delivered the first ever week-long Club R&R in Taranaki January 2019. The experience for these children was “next level” -and Awesome Camp for Awesome Kids, with a focus on what our children CAN do and how they CAN do it.

We have planned the second Awesome Camp for Awesome Kids “Club R&R” for January 2020, for these children it is an opportunity to have fun and enjoy a week with their peers and siblings -something they cannot do without support. We have a fantastic crew of volunteers and team members to make this event a reality; many of the children need one-on-one support to participate and flourish. Club R&R offers a unique opportunity for parents to know that their children are safe and having fun, at time of year that can be very stressful for families living with disabilities. Club R&R offers amazing respite for parents, who can choose to be involved as little, or as much as they wish. Parents are also able to spend quality time with their other children and network with other parents with similar life challenges.

Give these children the best Christmas gift ever-

A Holiday Camp catering especially for their needs, where they have the opportunity to be challenged, have fun, play and socialise in a safe environment.

To achieve Club R&R 2020, we need your support -any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us to make Taranaki and New Zealand a more inclusive, empowered, supportive community.
