Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington

The Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington Trust made the decision to close operations at the end of Term 1, 2025. This decision was not easy, but one made with integrity and in response to several years of financial pressure and sector-wide challenges that have made local operations increasingly difficult.

While this is a significant change for Wellington, it is important to note that the Graeme Dingle Foundation National Office as a separate entity remains fully committed to the Wellington region. The National Office is now leading efforts to return with a sustainable funding base, and ready to deliver it’s life-changing programmes for tamariki and rangatahi from 2026 onwards.

You can help us get there.

If you believe in the potential of Wellington’s young people and want to see these youth development programmes return, please donate today.

Your donation is an investment in the future of the region, helping young people in Wellington grow their self-belief, life skills, and resilience. Together, we can ensure a stronger, more sustainable future for the next generation of leaders in Wellington.
