Pride Lands are excited to welcome Camp Elsdon in Porirua as our latest Help 100 sponsor. Joining us as our second Respite Care partner, their generous backing will allow us to continue to grow the support we provide to children and families in need across the Wellington Region.
Tier 2 Respite Care is where parents get a break in their own home and their Pride Lands kids get an overnight stay at one of our partner location with the usual mix of care and fun that you expect from Pride Lands.
As part of the sponsorship, the Camp Elsdon is giving Pride Lands fifteen nights free use of a four bed ‘home away from home’ cabin, which we can use to provide Respite Care for Wellington and Porirua children and families who are most in need of support.
More information is available on the Pride Lands Overnight Respite Care page, or you can call us for more information: 0800 Pride 4 U (0800 774 3348).
