We’re starting into the week sharing a huge round of congratulations with our local finalists in the 2025 Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards.

How lucky are we that Upper Hutt is home to such an active and dedicated volunteer community – where every kind gesture, every show of help makes a real difference.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination, and best wishes to the nominees at the awards function in late July. Winner or not, your nomination shows that your tireless mahi (work), advocacy, and support mean the world to your community.
