About Kids Alive

Kids Alive offers Before and After-School Care and Holiday Programs for children aged 5-13. The programs are filled with fun activities like crafts, sports, stories, treasure hunts, and team games, providing a great opportunity for children to make friends, have fun, and learn new things.

Operating under the umbrella of the Geraldine Family & Youth Trust, Kids Alive offers outstanding care for children. We work hard to provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for all.

We provide well-planned, stimulating and age-appropriate activities designed to foster positive interactions between children, adults and the environment. We empower children to make choices and give them ownership of their programme.

Our aim is to encourage children to be their best authentic selves. Kids Alive is an environment that acknowledges and celebrates children with special needs, providing support for them and their parents/whanau.

Geraldine Family & Youth Trust

Kids Alive Geraldine operates under the umbrella of the Geraldine Family & Youth Trust, which is a registered Charitable Trust. The purpose of the Trust is to be a funding vehicle for Christian organisations (churches, groups or individuals) to promote Christian work primarily for projects benefiting children, youth and families, and where appropriate engage in these activities in its own right. It is a stand alone legal entity.

"Organisations approaching the Trust set their own objectives and complete their own funding applications. They may operate under the name of the Trust if this best serves their funding purposes. In this case organisations will have their own management teams who will oversee all matters relating to the planning and running of that organisation." 

Kids Alive Geraldine has its own Management Team and functions independently. It operates under the Trust to maximise its access to funding. What this means is that:

• All funding applications are made under the name of the Geraldine Family & Youth Trust

• Staff are employed by the Trust

• All payments are made to, and receipts issued by, the Trust
