Since 1983 Koru Care has been working to bring joy into the lives of children with major health issues. During these years we have helped more than 10,000 children and their families by giving these children some unforgettable experiences. 

What Koru Care is best known for is taking groups of children with major health issues to far-away fantasy destinations such as the Gold Coast, Australia and California, USA. Other activities include supplying educational and play equipment, setting up toy libraries, taking children on special day excursions and an annual Christmas Cruise.

The children who participate in these events are often referred from other child organisations such as @Heart, Kidney Kids, Child Cancer, Cystic Fibrosis and other community organisation that have deserving children that fit our criteria.

To undertake these major events, Koru Care is reliant of the generosity of trusts, grants, businesses and the general public, there is no government funding. We also encourage families 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

Koru Care is always fundraising; from holding Charity Auctions and formal dinners, to the selling of Entertainment Books and auctions on Trade Me, If there is any way you can help whether financially or voluneering on an event please Contact Us;
