Special Children's Christmas Parties have been organising these events for over 25 years across a number of main centres throughout New Zealand.
Now, every year in New Zealand, nearly 10,000 Kiwi children with special needs, challenging life or health circumstances are invited to a party like no other.
The annual event is made possible by many local businesses supporting this event including Neighbourly.co.nz.
To be a part of this special event next year, please contact Aidan Belsham - Aidan@scevents.co.nz

When: Thursday 19 & Saturday 21 December
Where: Community Gallery Space Franklin Arts Centre
Time: 10am – 1pm
TERRA FIRMA
Earlier this year Franklin Community Arts funded artist Margaret Feeney to run a workshop looking at what land means to people. Land is home, it is income, it is ancestral right, it is something we control and use, as well as something we love and feel kaitiakitanga towards. How does art tell the story of all these different feelings?
This summer programme at Franklin Arts Centre explores these ideas in further depth across four workstations exploring mark-making and frottage, clay, collage and paint. The workshops are experimental and fun, and everyone’s welcome.
Drop in any time between 10am and 1pm on Thursday 19 or Saturday 21 December to have a go.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.
Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.
