In May, we usually hold our Annual Street Appeal, which raises vital funds for Te Omanga Hospice. Sadly, we’ve had to cancel it due to COVID-19.

While we may not be on the streets with buckets this year, our essential care and support for vulnerable people in our community continues through these challenging times.

Please donate to our Virtual Street Appeal today. Every dollar helps us continue to provide much needed care and support to people living with terminal or life limiting illnesses in the Hutt Valley.

Thank you for your support.

Our team at Wellington Seamarket has started doing contactless home deliveries for fresh fish and frozen seafood products.

If you would like to get some fresh fish for dinner tomorrow night you can order here.

Our fish comes in daily from fishermen around Wellington and collaborators around the country (such as Barnes Wild Oyster for Bluff Oysters).

Our goal is to get the fish prepared and delivered to your door within 24 hours of it hitting the deck!

We deliver Monday to Friday, and cover the bottom half of the North Island (Wellington to Palmerston North).

The masked investigators

The Team from Wellington Water

200 meters off-road a stormwater sump overflows and makes a public walking track impassable.

A call goes out.

That call is answered. Tools are carried into the hills of Belmont, the sump cleared of blocked silt, and the track made safe again.

The masked investigators strike again.

We are excited to be open during level 2 and are taking all the precautions we can to ensure safe shopping.

There is hand sanitiser at the door along with contact tracing. The government is not requiring contact tracing for retail but we have chosen to do it as we feel it makes sense to do so and are happy to go above and beyond.

Extra cleaning is happening to ensure that all touch points are being cleaned before another customer comes in contact with them.

For those who don't live nearby or prefer not to go out, we still have our online store operating 24/7 with free shipping.

As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, we're always happy to help :-)
