Rotary Club of Port Nicholson Fundraiser

Casino Night

On the 19th of August, the Port Nicholson Rotary Club hosted an annual fundraising event that was dedicated to raising funds to support Wellington Homeless Women's Trust and the wāhine we serve. 

The event was centered around generating enough funds to build up 50x 'Transition Kits' that would support our wāhine. These kits would be made up of basic appliances like kettles or toasters and essential bedding to reduce the financial stress of having to start from scratch when transitioning from Te Whare Nukunoa into a place of their own. 

The Casino-themed night was filled with lively conversations, fun casino games, hilarious horse races, drinks, and delicious finger food.

To add to the excitement, our General Manager, Hiria, won a major prize in the raffle, making the evening even more memorable!

As the Rotary Clubs charity of choice for 2023, the team at Wellington Homeless Women's Trust would love to extend our appreciation to those who attended the Casino Night and thank everyone who donated throughout the evening for their generosity.

Support from Rotary Club creates a brighter future for those struggling in our community and makes life a little easier for those transitioning from Te Whare Nukunoa to their own homes. These transition kits will provide a strong foundation for their new beginnings.

Thank you once again for your compassion and support. Together, we're making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
