What do you love about Saturday Club?
I love our Saturday Club as I have had the privilege to watch the kids form some wonderful friendships. As children first start the program, they are a little more held back, but as time goes on and the more outings they go on, they really form some beautiful relationships. We are all about having fun and inclusion and that’s what I love most about it!

‘’My son has been participating in KidsWish programs for a few years now, he is normally a shy boy and rarely would engage with the other kids, but since joining these inclusive programs he was able to move away from his shyness and be himself. He has made lifelong friends and really enjoys attending each week’’

"We find KIDSWISH a program that's inclusive for ALL where each child can interact and not be judged based on their individual personality or abilities. Everyone is treated with respect and dignity".

"Aidan gets extremely excited and has a great deal of fun attending his after school and sports programs. We mainly deal with Beth who is an absolute asset to your organisation. She is extremely dedicated, caring, and compassionate".".
