\Wairarapa SPCA and Child, Youth and Family have come together for the first time to celebrate International Children's Day tomorrow.
SPCA manager Val Ball said they were holding a pet afternoon at the centre, including a bouncy castle and a free sausage sizzle.
CYF senior practitioner Jenny Milne said there were many families both organisations worked with so it made sense to bring the two together.
"It's a nice match - animals and children," she said.
"The object is to get the kids to learn a little bit about handling animals and realising kids have the same needs as animals," said Mrs Ball.
