2022 – Wellington Hospitals Foundation

The charity’s mission is to: ‘Involve our communities in our hospitals and health services and our challenge is to raise funds for medical equipment, research, services and comfort items that aren’t government funded.’

Wellington Hospitals Foundation is a Wellington based charity, fundraising for public hospitals in the Wellington region.

Hospitals are the cornerstone of our community. The Foundation needs involvement from the community to support special projects benefiting patients, their families and hospital staff. Examples are providing chairs next to bedsides at hospitals, some cardiology treatments and many medications not government funding. This charity provides support to patients, their families and excellence in healthcare.

Our WGC community raised $12,247.33 through non-uniform days, teal weeks, school events and more and we were able to pass this onto the Wellington Hospitals Foundation in December 2022.
