Regional Events
Regional Events are a wonderful way for caregivers to relax, have fun and meet others who are walking the same path.
They are run by our wonderful Regional Coordinators with the help of our Regional Committee volunteers, who organise events such as coffee mornings, movies screenings, and Matariki celebrations, to name a few.
Please see below to find out about our upcoming regional events.
Matariki
Matariki is a star cluster in the sky and its arrival has a wonderful meaning; it is a time to spend with whānau (family) and friends, to reflect on the past year, and to look forward to new beginnings ahead. It is a time of remembrance, joy, and peace.
We held two wonderful events to celebrate Matariki this year, in Rotorua and Napier. Click below for more details.
Foster Care Awareness Week
Foster Care Awareness Week is an annual celebration dedicated to recognising our wonderful caregiver members and the selfless work they do. Foster Care Awareness Week 2023 ran from Monday 6th – Sunday 12th March.
Our wonderful Regional Coordinators hosted events all over the country – from pamper sessions and informative presentations, to fun whānau game days and roast lunches.
Family Fun Days
From the end of November until mid-December we have exciting events held around New Zealand for Family Fun Day. Events like – pool parties, movie screenings and ten-pin bowling. Family Fun Days are local community events funded by local businesses.

Join a Regional Committee
In each region there is a Regional Committee/Panel made up of caregiver members from the region, National Office team as required, and the Regional Coordinator. The Regional Committee will approve event proposals from the Support Groups and offer assistance where necessary. They may plan/organise events for all members in their region and promote events on Facebook.
