A special day for transplant and immunology families

📍 When & Where
Date: 5th July
Arrival: 12:45pm at Swansea Marina Dock
Sailing: 1:00pm – 2:30pm

Discounted Cost: £5 per child | £10.00 per adult | Free for Carers

Who This Trip Is For 

This trip is for families across South Wales and beyond who are:
    •    Pre-transplant
    •    Post-transplant
    •    Receiving immunoglobulin treatment
    •    Under the care of immunology

This day is about connection, understanding, and being around people who truly get it—while also raising important funds and awareness.

Discounted spaces will be prioritised for families with shared experiences. If availability allows, remaining places will be opened to others who would benefit from a supportive day out.

About the Charities 

Louie’s 🧡✨ and The Bubble Foundation 💙🫧

Two charities supporting children undergoing bone marrow transplants, immunology treatment, and complex care in Newcastle.

Many Welsh families travel long distances for treatment, and both charities provide vital emotional and practical support along the way.

Why We’re Fundraising

Funds raised will be shared between:
    •    Louie’s – supporting children and families in hospital
    •    A joint Louie’s & Bubble Foundation Chester Zoo trip for 22 families this August.

This special trip is designed to bring families together and remind them they’re not alone.

We hope this boat trip can grow into an annual event for families on similar journeys.
