House of Grace is having an open day at its residence in Wellington on Wednesday 3 March 2021, to acknowledge the many individuals and organisations, such as Port Nicholson Rotary, that have supported them over the years. 

The invitation is for members to come along anytime between noon and 3pm on the day for a brief walk through with one of HoG staff/volunteers for a tour of the home followed by refreshments that will include tea, coffee and afternoon tea/light snack.
