Heart Kids Keeps on Helping children and families  2 November 2020

Heart Kids Canterbury has been busier than ever this year - especially during the lockdown. We were inundated with queries and calls from families needing support. There were so many changing instructions for children waiting or having surgeries our team were getting daily updates from the hospitals and keeping our families connected. It has been hard for families when they could only have one person there so we are thrilled they can now have family together at the hospital.

Hopefully now we are in level one we only take steps forward and not backwards
