The fundraising initiative is being supported by Pizza Co with complimentary lunch for every child. Tickets are \u00a320 per child and every penny raised is being donated to the Children\u2019s Heartbeat Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colette McCartney, Founder of Holistic Kidz said: \u201cWe are excited to launch our new charity partnership with the Children\u2019s Heartbeat Trust and have lots of plans to help raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity to help support the children across Northern Ireland who are born with heart disease to live full and empowered lives. And what better way to begin our fundraising than with one of our famous Forest Adventure Camp to have a day of fun in the great outdoors with our fabulous Holistic Kidz on Saturday 5<sup>th<\/sup> February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was introduced to the charity by an amazing young lady, Lucy Stewart who is 10 years old from Belfast, who has been supported by the Children\u2019s Heartbeat Trust since she had heart surgery as a baby. Lucy is an incredible girl and started making beautiful handcrafted friendship bracelets over lockdown and we have commissioned her to make a bracelet for all of our Holistic Kidz. Promoting close friendship bonds is an important part of our ethos, so this really is the perfect partnership.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lynn Cowan, from Children\u2019s Heartbeat Trust said: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to have the support of Holistic Kidz with their&nbsp;outdoor forest adventure camp&nbsp;in February. This will be a wonderful opportunity for kids to have a fantastic day out whilst raising funds and&nbsp;vital awareness of congenital heart disease (CHD) and its impact on children, young people and their families in Northern Ireland.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 200 children are born with CHD in NI every year.&nbsp;&nbsp;We hope the local community will get behind Holistic Kidz in raising as much awareness and funds as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a local charity, we receive no government funding and rely heavily on public donations to fund our support services so all funds raised from the Holistic Kidz event will be greatly appreciated and make a real difference to local heart children and their families.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking is essential and to secure a place for your child at the <strong>Holistic Kidz Forest Adventure Camp<\/strong> <strong>in aid of the Children\u2019s Heartbeat Trust<\/strong> on Saturday 5<sup>th<\/sup> February go to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.holistickidz.com\">www.holistickidz.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate its new charity partnership with the Children\u2019s Heartbeat Trust, one of Northern Ireland\u2019s leading forest schools, Holistic Kidz, is holding a fun Forest Adventure Camp on Saturday 5th February.
