Sibling 'fun days out' are being held on a casual basis, though the program is presently looking to expand. Current activities include ice-skating, sailing, picnics, films, and general recreational fun.

Depending on the ages of siblings who choose to attend, the group may be divided into age relevance for participants. For siblings, co-ed, aged approximately 6 to 16 years. A small financial contribution is invited from families for each activity.
