Wellbeing and Activities Project

Beach trips, shared activities and support for children with heart conditions and their families.

Wellbeing and Activities Project

We believe that caring for the whole child means caring for their family too. Our Wellbeing and Activities Project provides regular opportunities for children with heart conditions and their families to experience joy, connection, and support.

Activities include:

  • Regular beach trips – giving children a chance to play, relax, and experience the healing power of the ocean
  • Shared activities with school children – fostering inclusion, reducing stigma, and building friendships
  • Donation visits – delivering essential items to families across different areas
  • Informal counselling and support – for parents of children with heart conditions, who often carry immense emotional and financial burdens

These activities are not just about fun – they are about restoring hope, building community, and reminding children and families that they are not alone. The beach trips, in particular, have been a source of great joy, giving children who face serious health challenges a chance to simply be children. Through these programmes, we are creating a support network that strengthens families and uplifts entire communities.
