A tremendous day celebrating the opening of Duke House!
Thank you to all who were able to attend our Duke House opening events last Friday, despite being a bit muddy underfoot, it was a truly sunny and joyous occasion. It was a chance to catch up with friends, supporters and our extended YIT community. A pre-dawn blessing set the scene for a glorious day, followed in the afternoon by speeches, tours and afternoon tea.
Five years ago, something like Duke House was merely a dream and now it’s a reality. We couldn’t have done it without you, our loyal and passionate supporters and, of course, Rod Duke. We are so delighted to have his support and with his incredible donation we are building upon the generosity of current and previous supporters.
Our mission has always been to fund and deliver quality and timely mental health interventions, so no young person in our community would have to reach a point of crisis or even more tragically die by suicide. With your help, you make this possible. We thank you for your continued support.
As not everyone was able to attend the official opening we will be hosting another open day at Duke House later in the year. Keep an eye out for the email.
Thank you again for your ongoing support and generosity. It’s hard for words to convey our appreciation.. Arohanui
