Are you ready to be a superhero for a great cause?
Childhood heart conditions reach every community, and so do we. At Heart Kids NZ, we walk alongside whānau, providing crucial practical, emotional and social support so families never face the ongoing challenges of a heart journey alone. We provide support – free of charge – and receive no government funding. We are reliant on the generosity of kind-hearted supporters to fund our services, so that heart whānau are supported, connected, informed and hopeful for the future.

Join us in dressing up as your favourite superhero and volunteer a couple of hours to "shake a bucket" or run a sausage sizzle with us in support our annual street appeal, taking place on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th September. We need your help to make it a success!
