Given by 8 generous donors in 4 weeks

Ingage is a “therapy wrapped in fun” programme where children in foster care heal, grow, and belong through play, trust, and connection.

Auckland

Immerse Charitable Trust has been running a program called Ingage a “therapy wrapped in fun” programme held every second Saturday during the school term since 2018. Children and young people in foster care arrive at Ingage: a space filled with love, laughter, and safety. Each child is greeted by their own trained, trauma-informed adult buddy who supports them throughout the day. Together, they learn, play, grow, and heal through activities that build trust, confidence, and self-regulation.

At Ingage, children who have experienced trauma, attachment challenges, and hardship can develop self-regulation skills, build trust, and discover what it means to belong. Through nurture groups, play, and shared adventures, they find a place where they are seen, valued, and supported while caregivers (foster parents) receive a well-deserved respite.

We want to finish 2025 with a celebration that reflects the incredible progress and growth our children have achieved throughout the year, a trip to Rainbow’s End! For some, it will be their first time at a theme park; for all, it will be a day to laugh, connect, show courage, and create joyful memories in a safe, supportive environment.

By supporting Ingage, you’re giving more than a fun day out. You’re helping build trust, confidence, and lifelong memories for children who need it most giving them the simple yet powerful gift of childhood joy.
