This year’s Community Awards culminated in a ceremony held at Te Marae where the regional winners were announced.

Each year the Wellington Community Trust joins together with Wellington Airport and the 5 local councils to recognise the work carried out by community groups in the wider Wellington region. The focus of the Awards is to reward the valuable contribution made by volunteers.
