Vinegar Hill rainbow camping

Vinegar Hill has been a popular camping spot for Gay and Lesbian people and their families over Christmas and the New Year holiday period in the height of summer since 1977. The programme for 2024/2025 is now out on the facebook group page (a private group so you have to join). Messages are coming thick 'n fast from Queen Patsy with practical info, the programme and more. It looks delicious so pack your tent and get there. The Vinegar Hill website has more information.
Gates open mid December, and the social programme runs from 27^th to 31^st December.

Armstrong & Arthur Charitable Trust for Lesbians

The Armstrong and Arthur Charitable Trust for Lesbians was established in 2001 by the late Bea Arthur for the benefit of lesbian community groups in the Wellington region. The Trust is named to recognise and remember the 57 year relationship of Bea and her partner the late Bette Armstrong. The Trustees invite applications for funding assistance, as grants, for projects and activities that will benefit all or part of the lesbian communities in the Wellington region. Visit the Trust website www.armstrong-arthur-trust.nz for information about how to apply for grants, and how to donate or make bequests to the Trust.

Application forms and guidelines are available from the Trust's website.
