- Friends of Te Papa
- 28 DEC 2024 – 4 JAN 2025 You won’t find them mentioned in a travel brochure on your high street; you won’t find them in most guidebooks, you probably don’t know anyone that has ever been there and they don’t even appear on some maps of the New Zealand’s South Pacific – these are the ‘forgotten islands’.

Christmas Appeal 2024
- Wellington Women's House
- Christmas can be a difficult time for many of our residents, as it often brings additional financial and emotional stress. The pressure of covering extra costs, looking after themselves, or making the holiday special for their family—especially if they have any children—can feel overwhelming. Some may even find this season to be a triggering time due to past experiences or isolation.
