Trust is winding down

The Hutt Hospital Foundation Trust (HHFT) was formed in 1993 in response to the potential closure of Hutt Hospital. Since then – with support from the Hutt community - we have supported the hospital, raising funds for equipment, nurse development and patient comfort.

The Trust is now winding down due to the regionalisation of hospital support services through the Wellington Hospitals Foundation. Its substantial fund-raising capabilities will greatly benefit the Hutt.

Any accumulated funds and resources upon cessation of the Hutt Hospital Foundation Trust will be handed over to the Wellington Hospitals Foundation for its continued work on behalf of patients and their families in our area.

This will close in 30 seconds
