    Our fundraiser has now finished!

    You helped us raise an incredible $13,293 toward our stolen gear fund though givealittle and other donations! We want to say a huge thank you to our incredible community for your support. Your contributions, shares and messages of support have meant heaps, and ensure we can continue our mahi into the new year!

    A special shout out to our awesome team of vollies who’ve rallied around the cause, friends and whānau who've jumped in to support, to the Friends of Taputeranga Marine Reserve, and to the students of Paremata School and Tawa Intermediate for their fundraising efforts on our behalf- legends!

    Although the fundraiser is over, we are always accepting donations, learn how you can support us here: mountainstoseawellington.org/donate

  • ***UPDATE***

    **UPDATE*** (3 December, 12.30pm)

    We're stoked to have located our ute and trailer overnight thanks to the incredible support of our community! The less great news….. we’ve only recovered a small amount of gear with the vehicles. This is a huge blow.

    Donations to our gear recovery fund are still much needed! Thieves took over $23,000 worth of uninsured gear- any donation helps towards costs of recovering the essential gear we need to continue our mahi with schools and the community.

    Wellingtonians- keep an eye out for MTSW branded Wettie wetsuits (mostly kid sized, some adult), hoods, booties and gloves with sizing written on in white, Atlantis masks & snorkels (green (S), black/blue (M), clear (L)) and Atlantis fins (all yellow with green footpockets- sizing written on front), red volunteer rashies, as well as anything else labelled 'MTSW'. Report anything suspicious to police with case file 251201/9454 & email us at events@mtsw.org.nz

    Thank you for all your support!!!!
