True Colours Children's Health Trust

True Colours Children’s Health Trust supports Waikato families impacted by their childs serious health condition. This number continues to grow each year.

True Colours Children’s Health Trust is a Waikato based, entirely community-funded organisation committed to supporting children with serious illness, their whānau and community during their time of need through counselling, nursing care and education. These three elements are part of a holistic approach to care, unique to True Colours, known as the Integrated Model of Care. This was developed by Cynthia Ward as a result of findings in her postgraduate research, “Children Matter: What is important to the child living with a life-threatening illness” and in response to a perceived gap in services. This model of care ensures children with serious illness and their family members can access support services and a continuum of care from the time of diagnosis through to cure, bereavement or on-going adjustment to living with a life-limiting illness. Support can commence from as early as a 20-week pregnancy scan and can continue right through to late teenage years. Since 2004, more than 1,000 families in the greater Waikato region have utilised the free service that True Colours provides. True Colours provides children with serious illness, their siblings and family members with the opportunity to engage in creative therapies including art, play and music, along with workshops, presentations and support groups facilitated by our committed staff. A key worker dedicated to the oversight of each child and family’s needs helps to ensure a seamless continuum of care. The Trust also works collaboratively with health professionals, schools and other community groups to promote further education and understanding of the many challenges a child with serious illness and their family may be facing. To provide this free support service for children with serious illness and their families in the community, True Colours has been entirely dependent on funds distributed by community trusts and grants, fundraising activities held by the community, and the generous support and commitment of its sponsors, donors and volunteers.

Thanks to for providing the fashion, for the awesome venue and Thats A Wrap Ltd for providing Sophie's gorgeous tutu which opened the night.

As a community funded organisation, it is amazing when people and businesses from within our community step up to help us out, which enables us to continue providing our service for free for the children and families who need us ❤

We're a day late for International Women's Day, but it's never to late to acknowledge the women in our team who lead the way in providing compassionate, supportive care, or to the amazing Mama's we support who courageously care and advocate for their children on a daily basis.

To the strong women in our team and those we walk alongside, we see you and acknowledge you.

Cynthia and I, along with Leean and Laura from our trust board (and Cleland Hancox Limited) were thrilled to join some of the crew from our local Hato Hone St John on a table as part of the Waikato Supper Club fundraiser on Wednesday night, raising money for Ronald McDonald House.

A lot of the families we support end up spending time at RMCH, so it was nice to be able to contribute to another great cause.

It just illustrated to us again, what a generous community we live in.
