Special Children's Christmas Parties in Taranaki

Special Children's Christmas Parties

Special Children's Christmas Parties held their Taranaki event at TSB Stadium last weekend inviting over 800 special needs children and their caregivers to a fun day of free entertainment, food, and Christmas presents.

Special Children's Christmas Partieshave been organising these events for over 25 years across a number of main centers throughout New Zealand. Now, every year 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 Stuff Ltd, the publisher of the Taranaki Daily News.
