We are incredibly grateful to be nominated in the Resilience category at the 2026 Spirit of the Wakatipu Awards & Gala, proudly sponsored by PowerNet. 💛

The Spirit of the Wakatipu — Tiaki o Tahuna: To Care for the People and the Place of Queenstown — celebrates the individuals, organisations, groups and businesses who give their time, energy and resources to strengthen our community.

For Hato Hone St John, resilience is at the heart of what we do.

From responding to emergencies through our ambulance service, to supporting the health and wellbeing of our community through community health initiatives, and empowering people with First Aid training, our teams and volunteers are there when people need us most.

Resilience is not just about responding when something goes wrong. It is about building a community that is prepared, connected and able to care for one another — today and into the future.

We are proud to be part of the Wakatipu community and deeply thankful for the volunteers, staff, supporters and partners who make this work possible. A special thank you to PowerNet for sponsoring the Resilience category and for helping shine a light on the people and organisations who contribute so much to our community.

We look forward to celebrating alongside so many incredible Wakatipu organisations and community members at the 2026 Spirit of the Wakatipu Awards & Gala.

Together, we care for our people and our place. 💛

Community Foundations provide a smarter way to give to the community you love. We can invest and grow your donations so the income they earn can benefit your chosen local causes year on year, forever.

Meet Jo, one of our dedicated emergency ambulance service volunteers in Queenstown 🚑

She joined us over six years ago and started volunteering with Wakatipu Search and Rescue and Fire and Emergency New Zealand before being inspired to volunteer with us after working alongside one of our intensive care paramedics at a motorsport event. "The rest is history", she says.

For Jo, volunteering is highly rewarding and means she gets to help people when they need it most. Becoming a volunteer has also taught her new skills and helped her make lifelong friends.

Thank you, Jo, for the time, care and commitment you give to your community. Volunteers like you make a meaningful difference every day 💚
