A partnership that delivers school holiday smiles

Tasmania Hospitality Association Together (THAT) and Colony 47 have partnered to provide 200 young people with an outing to the movies at Village Cinemas.

THAT have generously purchased and donated the tickets to Colony47 to distribute to families.

THAT Chairperson Chris Symonds stated “As a result of cost of living pressures, too often families are excluded from participating in fun activities.

This is a wonderful opportunity for young people and their parents to share some quality time together and participate in a fun activity without having to feel the stress of financial constraints “ said Mr Symonds.

Colony47 this year has provided opportunities and solutions to over 20,000 vulnerable Tasmanians, including those with lived experience in homelessness, mental health, parenting challenges, financial difficulties and unemployment.

This is the second year that THAT and C47 have teamed up and CEO Therese Taylor is keen to see more projects developed between the two organisations, providing more opportunities for children and families.

“Entertainment, such as a movie, is an extravagance for many families. This partnership allows many more families to enjoy time together.” Ms Taylor said.
