Ensuring the legacy endures...
With the Waitemata District Health Board as trustee, the Committee of Management is dedicated to the Trust being a proactive child disability organisation.
Their aim is to give children and their families support and resources to help deal with challenges they may face.
The Committee of Management is only too aware of the magnificence of the Wilson Home Trust site, and of the interest of the wider community in ensuring that it is always utilised as it was originally intended - to help children with disabilities.
In support of this the Committee will continue to seek suggestions from parents, caregivers, other concerned individuals, and organisations, about how the Trust can best assist children and families.
