CTC's Family Fun Day attracted their usual clients and 600 to 700 South Burnett residents.

The annual event left last year's attendance record of 400 people behind by hundreds.

CTC worker Nina Mollenhauer said she was impressed with the turnout.

Ms Mollenhauer brought along her client Abbie-Louise Maynard to enjoy the inclusive socialising opportunity.

Ms Maynard has been under the care of CTC for more than four years.

"I've been in child safety since I was 14 because I don't have any parents,” Ms Maynard said.

"They've helped me with everything, especially with the pregnancy I'm going through now.

"They're just really great and everything they do has meant a lot to me.”

Ms Maynard said she didn't know where she would be without the help of CTC.

CTC has made sure Ms Maynard had access to the transport, medical assistance, and continued support she needed throughout her pregnancy.

"Sometimes it's just good having someone else to talk to because the father is not in the picture and I don't have much in the way of family,” Ms Maynard said.

Ms Maynard said she enjoyed herself at the event.
