KIDS IN NEED WAIKATO PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR KIDS IN CARE, AGED 0-17 YEARS OLD.

We make each child a special care pack that has been thoughtfully put together by our amazing volunteers. Each care pack is personalised to the child’s age, size and interests, with products donated by the local community.

It's about making a difficult time just a little bit easier.

KIDS IN NEED WAS FOUNDED TO SUPPORT BOTH CHILDREN IN CARE AND THEIR CAREGIVERS

Graeme and Linda Roil began fostering in 2014, focusing mainly on the support of newborns, and emergency and respite care for older children. They were deeply concerned with the level of support for both foster children and also their caregivers. 

They began engaging with the community for donations and providing care packs to kids in need. This included children placed into foster care, and grandparents raising grandchildren.
