At the same time as we're fundraising to make dreams come true, we're looking for children with dreams. If you know of a child who is terminally ill or seriously disabled, please request a Koru Care Trip application form.

Koru Care trips involve a group of 41 people - 26 children and 15 caregivers (including two or three registered nurses), where each caregiver is assigned two children.

Itineraries are busy most days, but children will also have free time to go swimming in the hotel pool or relax in their rooms.

Nominated families are encouraged to help with fundraising in some way. This could mean writing letters seeking sponsorship, joining a local fundraising activity or finding a novel way to raise other funds themselves. Kids really get a kick out of helping to fundraise and often come up with brilliant ways to do it.

Who is a Koru Care Child …

Generally a Koru Care child has a condition, disability or illness that significantly impacts on quality of life.

• Is between the ages of 7 and 14 years.
• Is capable of mixing with other children and joining in activities planned for the trip.
• Has a family that is unable to financially afford experiences similar to those that would be gained on one of our trips.
