Welcome to the site of Thumbs Up Charitable Trust

Thumbs UP Trust Service was established to support the needs, aspirations and on-going development of young people with intellectual and physical disabilities to enable them to: -

  • Actively participate in the life of their community and gain enjoyment from its facilities
  • Learn and develop new skills
  • Engage in a range of cultural, artistic, recreational and leisure activities
  • Develop friendships and a sense of belonging to a community
  • Contribute in a meaningful and positive way to their community
  • Feel valued and enjoy a sense of achievement from meeting challenges

Thumbs UP Charitable Trust works in partnership with Wellington After-Care Association to foster the above objectives through Thumbs UP Service which provides day programmes for a group of young disabled people based in Thumbs UP Hall in Petone.
