Hutt St Heroes are people like you! They are people in our community who believe that everybody deserves the safety, dignity, security and comfort of a safe place to call home. As a Hutt St Hero, you believe that nobody deserves to feel isolated, alone, and exposed to the elements and dangers of the streets. You’re taking action by fundraising to help empower people doing it tough to access essential services and get their lives back on track.

Hutt St Heroes are school students and teachers, families, musicians, artists, workers, retired people – anyone and everyone of all ages can be a Hutt St Hero.
