Central Coast Kids Day Out

The Central Coast Carer Recruitment and Intake Team took part in the annual ‘Central Coast Kids Day Out’ last Sunday for a great community day and opportunity to spruik Barnardos and the great work we do with children and families, as well as talking to community about the need for foster carers.

The theme ‘Shining Brightly’ ‘Healthy Minds + Strong Bodies + Resilient Kids = Happy Families’ reached many families, in a fun-filled, family focused day. Our Airbrush Temporary Tattoos and coloured hairspray were a great hit with the children as well as some of the adults. 😊 We received lots of comments about our Barnardos Green stall and how well we stood out in the crowd.

We would like to thank everyone who participated and contributed in making it such a great day of sharing and raising awareness of Barnardos in our local community.

We’ll be back at this event again next year.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
