Trust House Children's Day

09/03/2026

After a number of unforeseen setbacks for this year's Trust House Children's Day, I have had to make the extremely difficult decision to cancel the day. Funding shortfalls and train unavailability would have resulted in a significantly diminished day and I believe cancelling this year's event is the best option.

It's not the last you will hear about future Children's Days, 2027 is already looking to be a great day with plenty of interest being expressed already!

Keep an eye out for the confirmation of the 2027 date, its going to be HUGE!

Amazing organisation developing amazing young minds across all backgrounds!
Proud to have them support the Trust House Children's Day’s!!

Meet Laurence Titter, the founder and head coach of the Wairarapa Boxing Academy (WBA) in Masterton. Established in 2017, the WBA provides a safe and supportive environment where young people can develop discipline, resilience, and self-respect through boxing.

Laurence's boxing journey began at the age of six, influenced by his father, a former competitive boxer. During his teenage years, he trained at the Naenae Boxing Academy, an experience that profoundly impacted his life by instilling discipline and providing a positive outlet during challenging times.

Recognising the transformative power of boxing, Laurence, alongside his wife Channyn, founded the Wairarapa Boxing Academy to offer young people in the Wairarapa region a place to connect, grow, and realise their potential. The academy emphasises its 5 core values; respect, resilience, relationships, role models and responsibility and with community support, aim to equip members with life skills that extend beyond the boxing ring. ​

Under Laurence's leadership, the WBA has expanded its programs to include training sessions for various age groups, school collaborations, and community engagement initiatives. The academy has also produces competitive boxers who have achieved success in national and international tournaments. Laurence's dedication to youth development through boxing has earned him recognition as a local leader committed to empowering the next generation.

This organisation is making a REAL difference in NZ Kids lives!! Think of them if you are wanting to donate to the future of NZ!!

Meet Laurence Titter and Channyn Titter Founders of The Wairarapa Youth Charitable Trust.

The Wairarapa Youth Charitable Trust (WYCT) was founded to create opportunities, foster resilience, and support positive outcomes for young people across the Wairarapa region. Originally established to support the work of the Wairarapa Boxing Academy, the Trust has since grown to oversee a wide range of youth development initiatives tailored to the needs of the community.

Built on the values of discipline, respect, and compassion, the Trust’s mission is to empower rangatahi (young people) to thrive both inside and outside the ring. Through the success of the boxing academy, it became clear that many young people needed broader support to navigate challenges in education, home life, and wellbeing.

Today, the Wairarapa Youth Charitable Trust delivers a variety of youth programmes, including school engagement and truancy support, one-on-one mentoring, community outreach, and life skills development. Working in partnership with schools, whānau and local organisations, the Trust provides wraparound support services that are youth-focused, inclusive, and grounded in aroha.

With deep roots in the local community and a kaupapa that prioritises long-term, meaningful change, the WYCT is committed to walking alongside young people as they grow into confident, connected, and contributing members of society.
