Financial support for Waiheke kids with health needs

How we help

The Jassy Dean Trust exists to provide financial assistance when tamariki are unwell or have a disability. We’re here to help reduce financial stress so you can focus on on your child’s health and wellbeing.

Apply for support

Applying for support is easy and strictly confidential. Please complete our online application form with the details of your request. All requests are considered, no matter how big or small.

Unless urgent, all applications will be reviewed by our trustees on a monthly basis. Then a Jassy Dean Trust representative will be in contact once your application has been reviewed and a decision made.

Emergency travel envelope

For quick access to an emergency travel envelope please ask at your medical centre or the Waiheke Health Trust.

How you can help

The Jassy Dean Trust is a Waiheke community charity supporting children's health and wellbeing needs. We fundraise through events like the Waiheke Garden Festival and the Jassy Dean Plant Nursery, and these events are not possible without huge support from volunteers and donors.

We welcome donations at any time through our Jassy Dean Trust Givealittle page.

What a success!

WOW! WOW! WOW! and THANK YOU!

The Jassy Dean Trust wishes to thank all those who helped to make this year’s Waiheke Garden Festival such a success.

THANK YOU to all our garden owners.  Every garden looked sensational! Those of us who labour over keeping even a small patch tidy’ish’ know what stupendous efforts have been made by all. This year, unexpected circumstances presented extra challenges for some of our hosts. We really appreciate the huge efforts they made to open over the weekend.

THANK YOU to all their neighbours whose lives were disrupted by cars, buses, bikes and hundreds of enthusiastic visitors.

Hello Spring!
Hello Spring!

Only seven weeks until we open the gates for the 24th Jassy Dean Trust Waiheke Garden Festival. For the frantically busy garden owners and the slightly hysterical organising committee, these will pass in a nano-second. It never ceases to amaze me what wonderous garden gems are hidden around our island and the generosity of their owners who so willingly share them. We look forward to showcasing their magnificent contribution to the Jassy Dean Trust over the weekend of the 9th and 10th of November.

Posters are appearing around the Island and tickets are already selling online at www.fullers.co.nz and at Paper Plus Waiheke and Fullers 360 Matiatia. Buy your ticket before 30 September and pay just $40! (normal ticket price $50).
