Central Lakes Trust (CLT) closes its 20th financial year, 31 March 2021, having granted $9.45 million into the Central Lakes community, the largest amount granted in any one financial year the Trust has operated.
Trust chair, Linda Robertson says, “Prudent investment has allowed CLT to maintain a healthy and growing grants budget. It is however the community members that drive the projects and causes we see across the board table and it is these groups that enable the Trust to meaningfully contribute to charitable causes at the heart of the community’s needs.”

A new Queenstown charitable trust with a focus on mental health has received a $40,000 funding boost from Central Lakes Trust.
The Southern Wellbeing Trust was co-founded in September by local GP Tim Rigg and health communications specialist Anna Dorsey after they saw the pressures Covid was putting on local health and social services.
‘‘We could see first-hand how big a challenge this was going to be for our communities,’’ Dorsey says.
‘‘Not just the risk to our physical health but the far-reaching and ongoing threat to people’s mental health and wellbeing.’’
Trustees are Dorsey, Rigg and Queenstown Medical Centre boss Ashley Light, who have since worked with a team of volunteers to develop new strategies to help prevent mental illness and promote good health across the district, collaborating with local agencies, the community and providers.
