The Wish 4 Fish Charity

The Wish 4 Fish Charity Access for all! Our country has some of the most beautiful natural resources in the world and we believe all New Zealanders should be able to enjoy this.

We help people with health and wellness challenges get out on the water and enjoy the freedom and pleasure of our ocean waters along with inspiring change in attitude to accessibility and inclusivity across our communities. Fishing and boating are some of New Zealand’s most popular recreational activities, which those with physical and mental disabilities are currently not being catered for. To share these experiences with our wider community, we arrange charity trips for individuals with physical and mental disabilities and their carer’s, who are often family members. The benefits from our trips go beyond a day out on the water. It provides our Charity’s beneficiaries the sense of what can be achieved despite some of the most difficult circumstances they experience. A day out on the water can bring so much joy and can provide our beneficiaries with lifelong memories – we witness this every trip – we call these magic moments. Something significant happens when people are empowered to go fishing. They move from being a beneficiary, to being a provider. This is a fundamental shift in identity, which allows them to not be defined through the lens of their disability or life challenges. When paired with a strong sense of adventure, comradery and achievement, the positive outcomes, excitement and lift in self-esteem is tangible. You can see it in the faces, eyes and body language of those on board.

🧸 TEDDY BEAR’S PICNIC — EATS ’N’ BEATS #2

Friday 9th October | 5–9pm | Jordan Field, Memorial Park

We’re back!

After our first Eats ’n’ Beats, we’re rolling into community dinner #2 — and this time, we’re turning Jordan Field into a Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

Bring the whānau, bring some friends, bring your favourite cuddly toy and settle in for an evening of good food, good people and good music in the park.

🎧 ASTROLABE × EATS ’N’ BEATS DJ COLLABORATION

We’re stoked to welcome Astrolabe’s DJ Zeca to the Eats ’n’ Beats decks!

DJ Zeca will take over from 7:45–9pm, bringing a little of the Astrolabe sound to Jordan Field and closing out our second community dinner.

Food trucks will be serving throughout the evening, the music will be rolling, and there’ll be plenty happening as Eats ’n’ Beats starts finding its Friday night rhythm.

So grab some kai, throw down a picnic blanket, bring the teddy bears and come spend Friday evening with us.
