Your generosity helps to change lives.

We all know the system is under pressure. Government funding only stretches so far, yet access to healthcare is a critical need in our community – for all of us. As the official charity for Health NZ in our region, Wellington Hospitals Foundation exists to support great healthcare for our community – including Hutt, Kenepuru, Wellington Regional and Children’s hospitals.

Thanks to people like you, since 2005 we’ve been able to support hundreds of important projects in the hospitals across our region. When you choose to support the Foundation, you become part of the solution. You enable us to respond quickly to unmet needs, fund new equipment faster, and make a difference for thousands of patients and families when they need it most.
 

"Why do I have to be brave? I don’t want to be brave anymore."

Zara is only six, yet she has spent more time in hospital than many do in a lifetime. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we can provide specialist equipment and enhanced patient services that help children like Zara and her family feel cared for, comforted and supported throughout their hospital journey.
