Rotary Meeting 11 June 2025

The speaker for this week is

Jacqui Jago

Branch Co-ordinator Bellyful Wellington West Charity

Her topic is "Challenges and Direction."

Bellyful provides up to three nights of meals to whānau with babies or children under 12 who are facing challenges such as illness, bereavement, stress, isolation, pregnancy, miscarriage, or baby loss – regardless of financial situation. They help families without a support network. The meals are generously cooked and delivered by volunteers, who do their best to be in touch within five working days.

Jacqui and her family have lived in Karori, Wellington, for more than 10 years and are very involved with their community through our children. She is a stay at home Mum and at the start of 2011, started Bellyful Karori (now Bellyful Wellington West) the first Bellyful branch outside of Auckland.

She loves to cook for her family, for other families and to bake and loves what Bellyful has brought to her life and community.

Jacqui is married to Aaron and Mum to Ella and Paige, and is known for her fantastic baking.
