As we return from our summer holiday break and prepare for the year head, we wanted to express our thanks to several organisations and groups who assisted the Trust in 2017 – particularly those involved in our annual Christmas party. 

Firstly our thanks to the groups of volunteers from Hearts & Minds, Enliven, Dell EMC, Wilson School and Hauraki Primary School parents who helped in a range of areas from wrapping presents, to running the barbeque, helping in Santa’s grotto, handing out water and sunblock and assisting with setting up and the post event clean up.

We would also like to thank the following local businesses and groups for their support: 

Devonport Takapuna Local Board

BDO Spicers Takapuna 

Countdown Hauraki Corner

Evelyn Page Retirement Village Orewa’s workshop group

Harcourts, Cooper & Co, Takapuna 

Little and Friday Hauraki

Prestige Products

The Warehouse – Albany

The Warehouse – Milford

Whitcoulls Takapuna

And the Belmont Intermediate School Kapa Haka Group and the RNZ Navy Pipes and Drums for performing on the day.  

Finally, to our long-standing group of gardening volunteers, who come to the Takapuna site every Thursday morning in all kinds of weather, to help look after our grounds and gardens. 

As the busy wedding season begins, our gardens are a popular venue choice. We still have a few dates available for weddings in March. For further information email weddings@wilsonhometrust.org.nz
