Supporting local families in need

Each December, Rotary Hutt City works with the Salvation Army to collect gifts for distribution to families in the Hutt Valley where children might otherwise miss out. The collection point is the Tree of Joy, erected in Queensgate Mall and staffed by club members. In 2024, 2500 gifts were donated, a significant increase from previous years.

Furnishing the River Trail

Many of our members are successful local businesses providing products and services both locally and beyond. One such business is Metal Art Limited, based in Seaview.

From its roots in the commercial furniture market, the business has expanded into a wide range of associated products, many of which have a visible presence along the Hutt River Trail, a community project initiated by Rotary Hutt City and now a highly visible and much-used part of the Hutt Valley.

Beginning with gabion picnic settings, initially developed, built and installed with support from club members, the company now supplies bollards, bike racks, drinking fountains, picnic sets and distance markers. These furnishings are a valuable addition to the experience for trail users.

IYM goes from strength to strength

Rotary Hutt City has been closely associated with the Innovative Young Minds programme since its earliest days. Club members continue to serve on the governing board and the club is an active supporter. Since IYM's establishment, other local Rotary clubs have added their support, both in fundraising and in nominating students to attend IYM residential programmes, along with a range of organisations and businesses.

IYM encourages young women in years 11 and 12 to explore science, technology, engineering, mathematics and high-tech manufacturing and to learn about career opportunities in these sectors.

The lead sponsor of the 2024 residential programme was Pertronic, a manufacturer of advanced automatic fire detection and alarm systems. Pertronic is a business member of Rotary Hutt City. Forty-one young women from across the local North Island took part.

Happy Birthday Hutt City Rotary

Dear President Andy Soper,

Your Rotary Club of Hutt City was chartered on 21 June 1943. Your club completed 81 years’ service today, serving communities across the world.

I would like to extend my warm wishes to you and to all your club members on this joyous moment.

Rotary is the only organization which has a global foot print and is working towards happy communities across the world with its noble initiatives. Thanks to our Rotary founder Paul Harris, we are able to make a difference in the communities where we live.

Rotary clubs across the world execute service projects worth 2 billion dollars every year in their communities. Rotarians gives 25 million volunteer hours to their communities across the world every year.

Thanks and regards. Suren Poruri

An example of what we do is the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. Here are our 2024 attendees and President Andy.

Helping fund vital heart research

Hutt City Rotarians were busy on 23-24 February, collecting donations for the Heart Foundation annual street appeal. The collection was well supported by shoppers and the total raised exceeded expectations.

We're growing!

Rotary Hutt City continues to experience significant membership growth, particularly through the club's corporate membership programme, Rotabiz. At our meeting on 7 February, we welcomed Hana Tuisano, and Michael Markham (representing corporate member, PKF Kendons).
