Rotorua Trust grant
to Empowered Learning Trust for 2020
Rotorua Trust has just granted Empowered Learning $30,000.00 to put towards the screening and referral programs they run in the Rotorua area.
The Empowered Learning Trust is entirely self-funded and relies on donations and grants from funders and partners.
Rotorua Trust manager Tony Gill says the Trust is proud to support the work Empowered Learning Trust does in the community.
“It is a fantastic fit with our priority funding areas of education and health and the first 1,000 days of a child’s life.”
Kaharoa School assistant principal Rose Powley cannot speak highly enough of the programme.
“We had a teacher aide trained in screening, unfortunately when she left the school we were unable to continue screening. The Empowered Learning Trust has now filled a very big gap and many families from our community have benefitted.”
2019 Local Hero Award
Karen Barker Screening Manager awarded a Local Hero medal for her work with Empowered Learning Trust. A gathering was held to present the medals to recipients at the Classic Fliers Museum in Tauranga.

Thanks Jules Baillie for going into the ring for us!!
“I’m Co-owner of CrossFit Taupo and The FitFoodie, Mum to Rongomai aged 4 and Partner to Manunui Te Heuheu! I love to cook and train so kinda living the dream!
I’ve wanted to be a part of this event since it started – I haven’t missed one yet and it’s a great new challenge and fabulous opportunity to support local charities!
To be honest I struggled at school due to bad eyesight and still do. So to give children a great head start in life is my motivation to raise as much as I can for Empowered Learning!” – Jules Baillie
