Koru Care Turns 25!

Koru Care Charitable Trust has reached an exciting milestone as it celebrates 25 years of bringing joy to the lives of children with ongoing medical conditions, terminal illnesses or other challenges in their lives.

This year 50 children will be travelling to Los Angeles to experience the fun and excitement of favourite places like Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal studios and more.

The experience that Koru Care provides helps make dreams come true for these children and provides an opportunity for them to escape their challenges for a few days to a fantasy location far from home.

Southern Stars Charitable Trust is again helping make the trip for these children memorable by staging a children’s favourite pantomime through its 'Kids in Show Seats' programme.
