What is a Kidsflix event?
Kidsflix is a national project of the Arthritis Foundation of South Australia.

- juvenile idiopathic arthritis
- significant and/or chronic health conditions
- disability
- special needs
The mornings include entertainment such as face painting. A new release children’s movie with a complementary drink and popcorn.
How you can help
Every child and family attending a Kidsflix event is sponsored by a local community member or a business.
By supporting a Kidsflix event and families in your community, you will be bringing joy and a sense of belonging to a child or family who would be very unlikely to otherwise have a movie experience.
Kidsflix acknowledges the special needs of some children and brings families together.
