Christchurch’s Summer of Fun returns

More than 40 free ‘Fun Days’ are being put on by a number of different community organisations, churches, the YMCA and various residents’ groups over the next three months, delivering a full Summer of Fun programme.

CERA is supporting groups to run, co-ordinate and promote events and a $136,000 grant from The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust has ensured that communities across the city will have local, neighbourhood events to enjoy during the whole summer.

Although church groups are among those offering summer Fun Days, every event is for the whole community and about bringing people together whatever their race, religion or age.

The YMCA has supplied outdoor adventure equipment including a mobile archery set, kayaks, raft-building materials and a set of adventure-based learning equipment to a number of the community days.
