The Rotary Club of Port Nicholson continues to support The House of Grace Trust which provides a home for pregnant young teens to live, learn, prepare for childbirth and make plans for their future. Club members provided gifts for young Mums, their babies, pantry supplies and for the live-in supervisors. President, David Shackleton and Past President Bev Wells were delighted to deliver these items to the hard-working staff and volunteers of the House. Members of the Trust are very appreciative of Rotary’s generosity which they said provides a positive impact on young Mums and their babies.
Earlier in the year the club provided $10,000 towards their Warm Home Project to re-roof and insulate the house situated in the greater Wellington region. We are proud to have a long association with the House of Grace Trust providing support for this much-needed initiative.

Last week Port Nicholson Rotary hosted a very special event to recognise the achievements of three Goal Setters, Sean Ainsworth, Nathan Russell and Hineana Tihore. We heard their difficult and inspiring journey’s from each of them. We are confident that our future is in good hands as they continued to achieve and succeed to make a difference in the world. The award ceremony and breakfast was held at the beautiful marae at Te Papa and the awards were presented by Adrian Orr, Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The awardees each received $3,5000 thanks to our generous sponsors.
Project Complete! We recently supplied and delivered a whole house with all the necessary equipment for a refugee family to move straight into. What a great result! Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Joy and Bev went to see to see pupils from Kahurangi School playing floorball after school at the ASB Stadium this week. They met with the Principal and a reporter to acknowledge our contribution towards pupils participating in a range of sports. Principal Kyran was extremely grateful.The $3,000 (50% RCPN and 50% District grant) is having a positive impact on the children. They have 90 children playing now, with 60 of those children able to play this spring/summer season solely because of our contribution. The Bev, Joy and the Floorball team featured in the Cook Strait News this week.
