After the AGM, we’ll hear from Tauranga photographer and cleft mum Chelsea Dela Rue, who will share the story of The Bowie Project.

The Bowie Project is a portrait series created to celebrate the cleft community across Aotearoa. It began with Chelsea’s daughter Bowie, and has grown into a nationwide project capturing families, stories, and the many different experiences within our community.

It will be a warm, meaningful session, and a great chance to connect with the wider Cleft NZ whānau.
