Gala Dinner 2025

The Gala Dinner is organised every year by our supporters: Dame Terese Walsh and Kirsten Paterson. It is an opportunity to highlight the Trust, the work we do and the issues faced by our wahine. We were moved to tears at times during the evening by the generosity of many of our guests. And there were many - the largest number we have had yet. Thank you Wellington!
