Save our sea scout hall

$3,020 donated
Given by 26 generous donors in around 10 months

Help us raise and future-proof our sea scout hall in Evans Bay, Wellington so future scouts can keep sailing, kayaking and adventuring.

Hataitai, Wellington

Britannia Sea Scouts has been having adventures from our iconic hall over the water since the 1930s. Generations of Wellington kids and families have learned sailing, leadership and outdoor skills as part of this group, and our much-loved hall is a huge part of everything we do. Thanks to the generous donations and grants we've received, we've fixed some piles, built some new slipways and had the hall painted and reroofed. However further piling repairs and raising the hall will be required, so we can keep offering our programme to current and future cubs, scouts and venturers.

About us

We are a busy sea scout group in Evans Bay, Wellington. Our rangatahi do sailing, rowing, kayaking, tramping, camping, and everything in between. Our hall and boatsheds sit over the water and need piling work so our kids can keep having fun and doing water activities safely.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
