Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides short term emergency or planned respite care for whānau with children aged 5-12 which can be accessed in times of whānau stress or crisis.

We offer wrap-around 24/7 respite care for tamariki aged 5-12, outdoor activities, and learning experiences designed to foster wellbeing and resilience.

Our service also supports whānau in their own homes with our community outreach Awhi Team. This is made up of social workers, youth workers and Whānau Ora Navigators to encourage and awhi whānau in their daily journey of life.

Cholmondeley relies on the generosity of the community to keep its doors open as it is 80% community funded.

King Charles on 22 Sep 2024 Recycled René Rides across Australia.

Hi René. King Charles here. Camilla listens to your son Duncan on the Not for Radio Podcast and told me about your amazing bike ride for Cholmondeley Children’s Centre across Australia. As I’m a big supporter of such charities I thought it would be deserving of me to donate some of my tax free money to round off your fundraising to $34,000. Yours sincerely King Charles.

Hi Charles. Thank you for being so supportive of a worthy cause. Also could you thank Camilla for alluding you of my fundraising efforts. PS. I met you at the Garden Party at Mona Vale for the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch. All the best and take care.

Had to dip in again René, before you closed it. Yes me again. I am still stunned you did it, without a day off. Also while feeling a bit crook. Covering a distance greater than the diameter of the moon. Mind boggling. You bloody Legend.

Hiya Ian. Cheers for being my number one follower and thank you so much for donating twice. Your support is really appreciated. I achieved 3 out of 4 of my goals so I’m pretty happy. Certainly was tough out there at times!
