Major non-profit events organisation returns with a new look!
Two decades after its inception, the Worlds of Wellington Trust (WOW) is back with a new name, a new location and new set of projects.
The non-profit organisation under Founder and Chair Phil Sprey, was the organisation which created, produced and delivered the multileveled ‘GO DUTCH’ Festival, Disney Toy and Anne Frank Exhibitions and the iconic “Dresses for Humanity’ The Princess Diana dresses exhibition, around the turn of the millennium. On a community level it was behind, The Rink Ice Skating event in Waitangi Park, X-Ball Paint Ball tournament and Flora! Flora! the celebration of floral design at Government House. Over a four-year period alone, 750,000 New Zealanders visited the Trusts events and under its charitable directive raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local organisations like Heart, Arthritis and Aids Foundations, Child Cancer and many more.
‘Now in 2019 we are back with a new location and a new brand and a fresh set of set of projects under consideration’ says Sprey, ‘we were born out of a need to fill the gaps in cultural, artistic and community events that city councils and other authorities failed to support or produce.’
The New Look and Direction: The Worlds of Wellington Trust Inc. is now - DestinationHutt.
The new brand name makes no secret of its location. Relocated to Hutt City, the Worlds of Wellington Trust Inc is now taking on a new image and set of priorities and principles. Why? Simple, The WOW image and logo now clashes with the identical fashion event brand, that’s obvious.
The Hutt name inclusion too will re-enforce the fact that our research has identified that Wellington City is no longer seen to be able or interested supporting its international relationships rather focusing on other events, but the Hutt City’s business community, ethnic organisations and civic leaders are.
With his other hat on, Chairman Phil Sprey is also running as a candidate for Hutt City Council in 2019 and will push the same Destination Hutt war cry whether elected or not. ‘Working from within council, I will be able to help ensure the delivery of this new initiative is debated and supported and made the envy of other neighbouring councils’, says Sprey.
DestinationHutt will have a new CEO, the next generation of the Sprey family, Damien Sprey. His Victoria University Qualifications and experience working along his father on concerts and other major events will continue to carry forward the ethic and aspirations the Trust was established on.
Look out for announcements on the first international project soon!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
