Wings | Spread your Wings With a Regular Gift
True Colours Children’s Health Trust is a 100% community funded organisation. It is only through the generosity of people and organisations in the community that we can do the work we do.
Wings is our regular gifting programme, enabling you to donate to our organisation each month.
Your regular donations are vital in helping the care to continue for children living with a serious or life threatening illness and their families.
Every dollar really does help us here at True Colours, and the more support we receive the more we can offer children and families living with the challenges a serious or life-threatening illness creates every day.
True Colours is a registered charity so all donations over $5 are tax deductible. A full tax donation receipt will be mailed out at the end of each financial year.
Please join up to True Colours Wings programme today
