Teenagers can be hard to buy for, and are often the ones who can miss out when finances are challenging.
For the fifth year running we have partnered with Rialto Cinemas in Dunedin to send teens to the movies.
Social workers remind us that in families facing financial hardship, teenagers often feel left out of the Christmas festivities and social events over the Christmas holidays. Help us buy movie tickets to give to teenagers who may have little else to look forward to this Christmas.
A small $10 donation will provide an ideal gift for teens this Christmas. It means they can join in when invited to the movies by their friends, or even initiate a movie outing in the holidays. We have seen social empowerment and the value for teenagers when they can be part of conversations about the latest movies, which social workers have said
is invaluable.
Thanks to your generosity we raised $3,200 in 2018, which meant we could give 320 teenagers the opportunity to go to the movies. We would love your support this year!
All of the donated funds are used to purchase movie tickets. Our Family Works team distribute the tickets.
