Care for Kids North Devon are a local charity based in Barnstaple. The charity arose after the founders own son was diagnosed with Leukaemia and she became aware of the financial implications associated with long term treatments. We provide initial, instant financial assistance to families of children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses and conditions.
Care for Kids North Devon was founded in 2009 and has gone on to raise over £200,000 which has directly supported and helped over 100 North Devon families with financial support from the charity grants. Care for Kids have delivered numerous projects on the Caroline Thorpe Ward from delivering the installation of bespoke cupboards, furniture and entertainment equipment for the Playroom. The charity’s most recently project was refurbishing the Parents Room, by re-designing the room with a beach theme to characterises North Devon. This included, installing 3D digital wallpaper, custom made sofa, a breakfast bar and stools, a new TV and artwork for the room. Additionally, the charity provides extra facilities to enhance the ward to better the hospital experience for the young people.
