Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.

We would like to thank our Treasury Tracey Reid, our auditor Jonathan of Aurora Financials, our donors who donate to us financially and provide us with their unwanted good quality items, our volunteers who take the photos of the donations. This information is put into our report sent to the Dept of Internal Affairs annually.
KCA is really a Tier 4 (under $125,000) income per annum but as our accounts are done accrual basis we are classifed as Tier 3.
With a total expenditure of $79,795 as of the 31st March 2017 our biggest expense is our warehousing costs, followed by food.
We are approaching our 6th birthday at the end of November.
Thank you to everyone past and present whose generosity has made our charity a success. We have already assisted over 30,000 people so far this financial year.

We found out that some participants have some pretty wacky costume ideas like; ‘Donald Trump', ‘an inflatable flamingo’ a ‘popcorn vendor’ and ‘grumpy grannies’. Comment below with what you'll be dressing up as this year!
Anybody wanting to get rid of your TiVo now the service is ending, please give me a pm. Looking for a couple to experiment on.
Thanks.
