Kia Ora E Te Whānau,

By Anglican Family Care | Posted: Monday November 20, 2023

We regularly run events throughout the year. Previous fundraisers include our popular House and Garden Tour, movie nights, and concerts.

In October, a group of supporters visited Olveston Historic Home in Dunedin for High Tea and a guided tour of this original historic building. Check out the photos of this fantastic event in our next story.

Do you have any ideas to help us fundraise?

We’re always looking for fresh ideas, perhaps you could get together with friends, whānau, school or workplace and run a car wash, boot sale or sell baking and donate the money raised to Anglican Family Care. With your support, we can continue working together with Otago whānau and make change that inspires hope for a better future.

Keep an eye out on Dunedin streets on Friday 24 November for our bright blue vests during our annual Street Appeal.  

If you would like to stay up to date and join us for future events, sign up to our newsletter,

The holidays and the festive season can be a very difficult time of the year for many whānau we support. The commercial pressure on parents to provide a perfect Christmas for their children can lead to high levels of anxiety and frustration.

Your gifts help empower parents and ensure that their children experience the joy of Christmas.

Here’s some ideas Santa has given us:

+ New books, toys and games.

+ New art supplies

+ Pre-loved toys in excellent condition

+ Whānau experiences, eg movie tickets, swim passes, etc

Unfortunately, there are some toys we can’t accept such as

-Pre-loved soft toys

-Toys with button batteries

So no child misses out, we need to get these presents to Santa in time! Please have your donations to us by the week commencing 11 December.
