At Hutt St Centre, we’re constantly inspired by the power of community, and 14-year-old Finn proves that making a difference doesn’t require years of experience—just a big heart and determination.
After noticing people sleeping rough in his suburb and city, Finn felt compelled to help. Pairing his compassion with his love of baking, he organised cake stall fundraisers, rallying his neighbourhood to support people doing it tough.

“My first goal was $500 and I got there in my first cake stall,” Finn shared. “By my third stall, I had raised over $2,000 selling cakes and biscuits!”
Thanks to Finn’s generosity, more people can access hot showers, warm meals, and life-changing support.
We are so grateful for young changemakers like Finn, who remind us all that even small acts of kindness can spark incredible change.
