Join us as we raise funds to provide FREE counselling and nursing support for Waikato children living with a serious health condition.

Hamilton, Waikato

Show your True Colours as we raise funds to support children with a serious health condition and their siblings.

A child's serious or life-threatening illness affects the whole family. That why children and whānau are at the heart of everything we do. In the 21 years we have been in the Waikato, we have supported over 3200 families, and it's thanks to the generosity of our community and people like you that sustains this free service and helps children and families when they are coping with great uncertainty and stress.

Our support is flexible to suit each child and families needs and may include counselling, procedure preparation, advocacy, grief counselling, nursing care and advice, symptom management.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
