As we welcome in the New Year, we want to say a special thank you to those families and residents in Templeton who attended the Templeton Xmas Family Day in December 2021!

New Zealand Charters hosted their first annual Christmas event. This event brought the community together for a day of fun in the sun and gave those attending, the opportunity to take a scenic helicopter flight over Templeton thanks to the GCH Aviation Team.

It was a day of Helicopter rides, Music, Sausage Sizzles and raising awareness to those less fortunate during the holiday season.

New Zealand Charters raised over $700 in gold coin donations and over 40 presents going towards Foster for Hope, Women's refuge and Salvation Army.
