March Mission

March 2026


Get active with 7,000 steps a day next March. A bit of a walk. A lot of support for people doing it tough.


Tāmaki Makaurau, get active and feel connected next March. Walk 7k steps a day – or more – and raise funds so people in urgent need can access kai, safe housing, and healthcare. Each step you take will inspire your whānau and show your care for building a safer, more supportive community where everyone can get help when they need it.

2nd - 7th Dec: A Christmas Carol

Supported by Auckland Live this December, the award-winning stage spectacleCharles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol – arrives at The Civic to lift your spirits. Brimful of song, humour, love, and lashings of festive joy, A Christmas Carol is a magical, grand-in-scale production – perfect for the entire family.

It’s Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge is counting down the seconds until the silliness of the season passes. Deeply entrenched in his own misery, Scrooge receives a visit from four ghosts who whisk him away on a journey through Christmases past, present and future. Here, he revisits fragments of his life and is faced with a number of choices. Redemption is his for the taking – but is Old Scrooge capable of changing his ways before it’s too late?

The Shake & Stir Theatre Co adaptation of A Christmas Carol has become a much-anticipated annual tradition in Brisbane. Since its premiere in 2018, this heart-warming story has captivated the hearts of over 127,000 people over seven return seasons. Shake & Stir Theatre Co’s Artistic Director, Ross Balbuziente says: “its sentiment resonates more profoundly than ever, reminding us of the enduring themes of love, forgiveness, and generosity that make the holiday season truly magical.”

Complete with live music, yule-tide carolling, innovative video design, lavish costumes and, of course, snow, A Christmas Carol, is quite simply “the most uplifting theatrical experience you’ll have this year” (The Courier-Mail).
