Learn how to plan, organise and promote your own community recreation programme or event by attending Get Set Go, Spread the Word or the Event Permitting Masterclass.

These workshops and guides have been designed to help you get your programme or event off to a great start. Spread the Word is the follow-on workshop to Get Set Go, however you don't have to do both workshops.

The Event Permitting Masterclass is an overview of the event permit process.

Accessibility and inclusion checklist

We've put together an accessibility and inclusion checklist [PDF, 312 KB] for people just like you - organisers of events whether they are big or small.

We know it's not always easy to remember all the ways you can make an event a little more accessibility to anyone with access needs. This can be anyone in your community - older people, mums with prams, cyclists, wheelchair users, culturally and linguistically diverse communities or people recovering from injuries.

We need events and activities that everyone can participate in, both in the city and in local communities. This checklist should help you do this. Take your time and complete the list as you organise each area of the event. The list is written from the perspective of disabled people in Christchurch, so you may not have thought of some things on it before.

If you need help or advice please email accessibleevents@ccc.govt.nz.
