House of Grace
Posted on Dec 15, 2019
The Rotary Club of Port Nicholson continues to support The House of Grace Trust which provides a home for pregnant young teens to live, learn, prepare for childbirth and make plans for their future. Club members provided gifts for young Mums, their babies, pantry supplies and for the live-in supervisors. President, David Shackleton and Past President Bev Wells were delighted to deliver these items to the hard-working staff and volunteers of the House. Members of the Trust are very appreciative of Rotary’s generosity which they said provides a positive impact on young Mums and their babies.
 
Earlier in the year the club provided $10,000 towards their Warm Home Project to re-roof and insulate the house situated in the greater Wellington region. We are proud to have a long association with the House of Grace Trust providing support for this much-needed initiative.
