On 6 July over 100 people gathered at the Circus Hub in Newtown to celebrate the successes of the past year and hear about Wellington Community Trust’s (WCT) future plans.

More than 50 community groups that received funding from WCT were represented together with investment partners, trustees, suppliers, funding colleagues and others who all help our work to make a positive impact throughout the Wellington region.

How we celebrated – circus and dance

The Annual Public Meeting was hosted by the Wellington Circus Trust who provided a wonderful welcome. They, together with the New Zealand School of Dance, put on some great entertainment that had the crowd gasping and clapping.
