A very special Christmas party for kids with a disability and autism

STEPS Autism Treehouse

The STEPS Autism Treehouse 7th Annual Christmas Party presented by The Fleet Office is on December 6, 2020 and is the Sunshine Coast's largest Christmas event for young people and families living with autism and disability.

Held at the Kawana Sports Precinct, STEPS have created a very special Christmas party where families living with autism or disability can enjoy a fun-filled day in a supportive environment.

Directors of the The Fleet Office, Jim and Angela Lee say putting on an event like the STEPS Autism Treehouse Christmas Party brings the community together and gives children and parents a day they look forward to every year.

"It is wonderful to be a part of something so unique and beneficial to the community here on the Sunshine Coast," Jim said.

"We've had a great relationship with the STEPS Autism Treehouse for a number of years and to be able to contribute in such a way is really very special for us," he said.

STEPS Group Australia Managing Director Carmel Crouch said despite the challenges many organisations face due to COVID-19 in running events this very special Christmas party was not optional but essential.

"There's no doubt 2020 has been a very tough year for organisations across the Coast and in particular charitable organisations," Carmel said.

"Christmas however is a very magical time of the year for all children and for those especially living with autism and disability and we are so pleased to be able to offer a space in the community that's safe and fun-filled that where families can connect and support each other."

"We anticipate this year's Christmas Party will be bigger and better than ever and thanks to the generous support from Jim and Angela at The Fleet Office, we have the opportunity to once again host the Coast's biggest Christmas party for children, young people and families living with autism and disability."

The Christmas Party offers a huge range of activities such as a sensory tent, rides, a petting zoo, free massages for parents and carers and of course Santa!

Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online and start from $15 each, $50 for a family of four or $60 for a family of five, with all activities included in the price of the ticket.
