“Ngā reo o ngā tamariki”
Voices of the coast road kids
As part of our Tu Manawa funding we need to make sure we are not only delivering what we think the tamariki want but also listening and
delivering what they want too.
Woolworths shout out to your Greymouth store for our weekly fruit basket which is always a massive hit!! And to the Barrytown Clay Target Club and The Barrytown Hall giving us place to grow and create memories in our community

20th March
we want to get as many Coast Road Kids involved and supporting each other as possible! 🙌

The 2027 Paparoa Ultra Kids Fun Run is happening right here on our doorstep, with races for Under 10s and Over 10s.

So… we’re thinking we will start getting the tamariki running more in our HomeBASE sessions, with some running games and activities worked into what fun we are already doing! But also
With this we’d love to start a little Coast Road Kids Run Club 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️this will be just something to gradually build up their running, fitness and confidence as a group and get them ready for the event, just something once a fortnight for half an hour after homebase sessions

Nothing too serious. No pressure. Just getting together, having a bit of fun, supporting each other and seeing what our tamariki can achieve. ❤️

And imagine a whole bunch of Coast Road Kids turning up together on race day! 🤙🌊
