A paradise of pre-loved goods for tamariki can be found at Ōmokoroa Playcentre this weekend.

Holding their third-ever annual fundraiser, Ōmokoroa Playcentre's Pre-Loved Fundraiser this Sunday, September 11, will be their biggest one yet.

'We've been given the most items and it's the first year we're doing a sausage sizzle as well,” says Ōmokoroa Playcentre's EJ Weller.

EJ describes the pre-loved fundraiser as a garage sale for zero to six year olds. 'If you've got a kid under six then it's the one-stop-shop for clothing, books, toys, puzzles, and games,” says EJ. There will also be maternity and nursery items such as portacots and breastfeeding pumps.

Posting some of the fundraising items on the playcentre's Facebook page, there has been particular interest in a ‘kitchen helper' which lets toddler's stand at bench height. 'That's actually an auction item…there'll be quite a few people wanting that,” says EJ.

The playcentre is aiming to raise $4000 to go towards their mud and water play area. 'We'd like to get a water feature that reuses water, because we're trying to reduce the waste water from our play,” says EJ.

A family-friendly event, kids can play and families can enjoy a bake sale, plant sale, sausage sizzle and a silent auction as part of the fundraiser. There will also be family prizes for Marshalls Animal Park, Classic Flyers and more.

The fundraiser has free entry from 9am-midday on Sunday, September 11 at Ōmokoroa's Playcentre, 334 Ōmokoroa Rd – or pay $10 for an earlybird pass to enter at 8.30am.
