Press Release – Laura Fergusson Trust
More than 70 people representing the Laura Fergusson Trust took part in this year’s Round the Bays event, helping raise money for specialist gym equipment.
Based in Lower Hutt, the Laura Fergusson Trust (LFT) provides opportunities for people with disabilities to pursue a supported and independent lifestyle. Residents, whanau, staff, volunteers, team sponsors FIND and LFT’s own walking band came together to complete Sunday’s event, raising more than $3000 towards its goal of $10,000 to fund gym equipment for the hundreds of people the Trust cares for across the Wellington region.
Robert McIntyre, CEO of LFT, says fundraising has been harder over the last 12 months, and this financial support comes at an important time, with Covid-19 impacting the Trust and the people they care for.
