Southern Stars is a Charitable Trust dedicated to providing a better life for special needs and less fortunate children in New Zealand. Four times a year, Southern Stars Charitable Trust organises professionally run pantomimes as well as several other events to give special needs and disadvantaged children an opportunity to be kids. For each pantomime, 9,000 tickets are sent out to local charities and schools. Annually, over 36,000 tickets were distributed. In addition to sponsoring special-needs and disadvantaged children to our shows, each pantomime campaign raises awareness and funds for our charity partners. Some of the charities that have partnered with our pantomimes have included: Autism New Zealand, Radio Lollipop, Koru Care NZ, Burn Support Group Trust, Downtown Rotary, and Kidney Kids.
