Feedback from Parents

“These activities keep her connected to her community which is vital for her well-being and sense of belonging. She has become part of something where she's valued for just being her - none of her community see a kid with a disability - they just see a friend.”

Parent of Recreate NZ Participant

“Recreate is a HUGE part of my daughter's life and she is always excited about the next adventure! She gets to go to amazing places and have experiences that would not be possible for us as a family to provide. Recreate staff and volunteers are very important in her life.”

Parent of Recreate NZ Participant

“Recreate is INVALUABLE. The time (my son) spends away with Recreate on a Short Break or Getaway, is the only respite we as his full time carers get. So Thank you for the programmes you run, the support you give our young man. The Recreate Christchurch family is part of our family!”

Parent of Recreate NZ Participant

"As parents we were anxious about how this would turn out given she'd never been away without us or close friends/family. Now she's off to another short break this weekend and so excited about it, and as parents we can relax and know she's going to love it."
