*Harmony for Hope Concert 4 April 2025
As part of the ‘Lifting the Lid’ programme Hutt Valley Rotary Clubs have established a Charitable Trust with the express purpose of supporting this programme and reducing the financial burden on individual clubs. This fund raiser is a night of ‘movie-themed’ music from the Wellington Orchestra at the Lower Hutt Town Hall. All of the funds raised will be used by the Charitable Trust for the ‘Lifting the Lid’ Programme.
The Lifting the Lid programme helps schools source additional or complementary interventions for students who have, or are at risk of developing, mental health issues.
