Recently, the tamariki and whānau of Glendene Playcentre got to step outside the gate and into a whole new world with a hands-on morning of exploration at Butterfly Creek.
The recent trip to Butterfly Creek was supported through our Supporters Club, the monthly grants programme run by our venue teams to back local kaupapa with sums of up to $500. It’s a small contribution in the scheme of things, but for those tamariki it meant a day of hands-on learning that they might not otherwise have had access to.
The Glendene Playcentre whānau shared the impact of the day with us:
“Glendene Playcentre tamariki and whānau are so grateful to The Trusts for providing this very exciting learning opportunity, hands on exploration and fun at Butterfly Creek! Opportunities like this widen the world of tamariki and provide them with memorable learning experiences they would otherwise not have access to. Children and kaiako came back buzzing with new knowledge and a kete of special memories to treasure. Ngā mihi nui The Trusts Supporters Club!”
