Fundraising
To enable the facility to include aged care, a $2.5 million contribution to the building is needed from the community within four years of building commencing. A further $0.5 million is to be raised to contribute to the operational establishment of the community-owned and operated Akaroa Health Limited which will be the provider of services to the facility.
So far, an outstanding $1.2 million has been raised and we are delighted by the extraordinary support of the community. We are confident that through the continued combination of large and small donations we will get there.
Every dollar makes a difference and there are so many ways that you can support us.

Organise your own fundraising activity
Tremendous effort has gone into raising funds through events in the community.
We do need to protect the charity status of the Akaroa Community Health Trust by ensuring all funds raised in its name are donated to the Trust. We therefore ask that fundraising efforts that use the Akaroa Health Hub, Akaroa Community Health Trust or Akaroa Health names be approved.
If you would like to raise funds for the Health Hub and have an idea for a fundraising event, please contact Gretchen Foster at or phone 021 613 227. Gretchen will ask you to/help you complete the ACHT Fundraising Form which you can download below. We can help with publicity for your event, and all approved activities will be listed on this website and the Akaroa Community Health Trust Facebook page.
Download ACHT Fundraising Form here - either fill it in and email to gretchen.akaroa@gmail.com or print, write on it and drop off at the Akaroa Butchery or post to Gretchen Foster, c/- Akaroa Community Health Trust, PO Box 161, Akaroa 7542
