ANNUAL REPORT 2012 

Chairperson’s 

Report 

“ 

ROBERT CROSS 

As I look back over the 

past twelve months I 

simply cannot believe what 

we have achieved, and our 

Trust certainly has a lot to 

be thankful for. 

” 

The year started with a concrete structure rising 

from the ground. Slowly, as the months progressed, 

the site transformed into the image we have all 

been looking at for the last 6 years, our amazing 

new House. 

A project like this does not happen without a strong 

team of people truly dedicated to getting our new 

House built; the tasks and challenges we faced were 

large and at times seemed insurmountable. Thankfully the 

entire team worked strongly to make decisions and meet 

timeframes so our families would finally have a 

new home. 

We are delighted and extremely proud of the new House, 

and it is difficult to put the entire project into words. The 

design created by Archaus is visually very impressive, 

the flow of the building and interaction of spaces are 

excellent. Construction processes and finishes used by 

Mainzeal are to an exceptional standard, they were also 

compassionate towards our cause during the process 

in so many ways. The team of consultants, Maltbys, 

Aurecon, Clendon Burns and Park, Holmes Fire Safety and 

Craigie and Associates worked together tirelessly to keep 

everything on track. 

The ‘icing on the cake’ for any project such as this, always 

seems to be the interior design. The design team was 

lead by Honour Creative and I think everyone who has 

personally seen the House will agree, our team has really 

excelled with the completed fit out has surpassed all our 

expectations. 

During the rebuilding project our Family Room at 

Wellington Childrens Hospital continued to support 

families. It is a room of respite, a room of healing, a 

room of hope and a room where families find comfort 

while knowing they are only steps away from their child’s 

bedside. 

Of course, none of this would be possible without the 

tremendous support of our donors and supporters who 

eagerly watched the process as closely as we did. We 

are truly thankful in the current economic times to have 

received such generosity and we hope we have respected 

their support fully by delivering a House they can be proud 

to be associated with. 

I have been grateful to have the strong support of my 

fellow Trustees, and our Building Committee who have 

faced every challenge and crossed every bridge with me, 

using their expertise to the considerable benefit of our 

Trust and of course, the families who will use the House. 

To our CEO and her team, who seem to have been at the 

coal face of this entire project, not only dealing with the 

building process, the financial tracking and ensuring we 

still continued operationally to accommodate families, it 

has been a daunting task for the entire team and we are 

indebted to their commitment to the Trust during this 

time. 

In my final words for this report I would like to mention our 

families. Until our new doors opened to them they were in 

temporary accommodation which was not to our normal 

standard. However, they could see each day when they 

visited the hospital their new home being created, so they 

appreciatively accepted the temporary accommodation in 

the interim. When we witnessed the awe in their eyes as 

they entered our doors on the 29th October, we knew we 

had created something special for future generations of 

seriously ill children and their families.

HOROWHENUA COMMUNITY VISIT THEIR ROOM 

2013 was a complex year as we tried to manage the 

building project without interrupting our services to 

families. It was a year of huge challenges during which, 

I witnessed so many people rise to the task and I am 

extremely thankful for everyone’s support and assistance. 

Our team strength was certainly its numbers, diversity and 

determination. 

The actual building project consumed our year, no matter 

what role people had in or with this organisation, everyone 

was touched by it at one point or other. Although it was 

our year to be thankful, for many of us it was our year of 

firsts, the first floor, the first window, the first stairs and 

we even were excited over the first toilet! The year seemed 

to pass extremely quickly and before we knew it the paint 

was on the walls and the furnishings were being delivered. 

It is incredible to have an image in your mind for so many 

years and now physically have it standing in front of you. 

A personal highlight for me this year was being part of 

the interior design team. Working closely with Letitia 

Montford, a Trustee and Frances Fraser from Honour 

Creative we managed a vast array of concepts and colours 

to bring our House to life. Our task, and keeping within 

the budget, was made a lot easier thanks to the generosity 

of suppliers especially BM Scott for our Degateur floors, 

Morgan Furniture (La-z-boy) for incredible seats for our 

families to relax into, James Dunlop and Charles Parsons 

for supplying metres and metres of fabric at little cost. 

There are so many parts to the project, and only when you 


3


personally visit the House to see the size and standard of 

what we have created can you fully understand the journey 

we have just completed. It simply is a credit to all involved 

and we are delighted everyone is as proud of our House as 

we are. 

Although the building project was exciting, finding the 

funds to keep everything going was always the priority. 

Our generous room sponsors thankfully continued to 

meet their pledge commitments during the year. Suzuki 

decided our carpark offered them a unique sponsorship 

opportunity and the Horowhenua Community adopted 

our teenagers lounge in recognition of their support. 

The Dugdale Charitable Trust teamed with Milestone 

Homes and Van Baarle Construction to build a house in 

Carterton, which was auctioned as a fundraiser to sponsor 

a bedroom. All our room sponsors are mentioned later in 

this report and we hope you will help us thank them by 

supporting such caring businesses when possible. 

Once again, our events were a critical part of our 

fundraising programme. This year our Street Appeal was 

a great success raising 20% more than the previous year. 

Thanks to an extremely large team of volunteers and 

businesses, especially New World, deciding to reach out 

to their local communities to raise funds for us. 

Our Supper Club events were held in Wellington and 

Hawkes Bay. Both were very successful events thanks to 

the assistance of so many loyal supporters and sponsors. 

Guests were treated to delectable food at Capital E 

created by Martin Bosley’s team in Wellington and Dish 

Catering at the Opera House in Hawkes Bay. Liquid 

refreshments were provided by 42BELOW, Liquid Winks, 

Lion Nathan and Crossroads Winery. Carlton Party Hire 

ensured all our party needs were met at these events and 

other during the year. 

McDonalds Franchisees once again helped our cause by 

holding a golf day on a sunny March day, which raised 

significant funds towards our building project. 

This year we also held several events which were not so 

much focussed on raising funds. The first of these was the 

laying of our Mauri Stone to signify the life force that lies 

within the site. Kura Moehu conducted the ceremony and 

Donell Bullock from Ronald McDonald House Charities in 

Chicago laid the stone. The first of October, the day when 

the House legally transferred back to the Trust, Kura and 

members of the Waiwhetu Marae joined us to officially 

bless our House at a very moving dawn ceremony. 

After weeks of setting up and establishing the House we 

were able to officially open our doors to our friends and 

supporters. At 11am on Friday 26th October Joanna Todd 

and Lionel Whitehead were ably assisted by young Kobe 

Uhlenberg to cut the official ribbon and start the new life 

of our new House. This was followed by a weekend of 

celebrations to recognise the huge amount of support we 

had received from so many. 

Lions Clubs had their special Saturday in recognition of 

their immense support. We were especially privileged to 

once again have Jindelle Beeck join us from Lions Clubs 

International in the USA. On the Sunday we opened our 

doors to the public and we were overwhelmed by their 

comments and compliments. We also held special events 

for significant donors, volunteers and Wellington Hospital 

Staff. 

On Monday the 29th October, we were delighted to 

welcome our families into their new House. Some had 

watched for many months, the House nearing completion 

and finally they could call it home. It is fair to say they 

were somewhat overwhelmed by their amazing new 

surroundings. The families quickly worked out where 

everything was and after a very long few years, life in our 

House has now returned to normal. 

We would like to give thanks for our incredible volunteers 

who take joy in the pure act of giving without ever asking 

for a thing in return. Cooking a meal, helping out around 

the House, doing office work, helping the families, doing 

our washing, picking up groceries; these are just a few of 

the tasks our dedicated volunteers tackle for us, and our 

appreciation is endless because their generosity is endless 

too. 

Mostly I am thankful for our families. Everyday I listen 

to our families, it is clear what we offer goes far beyond 

meeting their basic needs—as critically important as they 

are. For our families, our House is more than somewhere 

to sleep, our Family Room is more than a place to get a 

cup of coffee. Our facilities offer families an environment 

where they no longer have to feel alone. When they walk 

through our doors, families enter a supportive community 

where others understand what it is like to have, or to be, a 

child with a serious illness. Mums and Dads from different 

communities and cultures share a coffee, share a meal, and 

share their hopes and fears with other parents who know 

just how hard things can be. And this is why we believe so 

strongly and passionately about what we do everyday. 

Thank you for caring about our families.

Treasurer’s Report 

DENIS WOOD 

With the building project well underway at the start of 

2012, our Trust faced the tremendous task of ensuring 

we had sufficient funds in hand to meeting our financial 

obligations. We had committed to the building project 

while being well short of the total funds required in 

our bank (but we were fully covered by a pre-approved 

mortgage), in the hope the urgency of the building project 

would inspire our donors and supporters, without us 

having to incur considerable debt. 

Thankfully our donors and supporters did rally as we had 

hoped, with a continual stream of donations and grants 

ensuring we met our monthly commitments. Although 

there are too many donors for me to mention personally I 

would like to assure every donor and supporter that their 

gift, no matter the amount, is extremely valued. 

I would like to especially mention the ongoing support 

from Ronald McDonald House Charities, who have stood 

by us through out this entire project. We were truly 

privileged to receive an extremely generous gift from Noel 

and Joanna Todd, who have supported the House since it 

opened in 1991. Another gesture of extreme kindness was 

a gift from Collis and Helen Blake. Our delight of their gift 

sadly turned to sorrow when Collis passed away just a few 

weeks after visiting our nearly finished House. 

Our Lions Clubs continued their amazing on-going support 

raising significant funds to complete the Lions Den on the 

second floor of our House. Our thanks to all the Clubs, 

and especially to Rex Bullard and Roy Peterson for their 

continued inspirational leadership of their campaign. 

So many businesses had pledged their support of our 

project. Given current financial times, I am astounded only 

one pledge did not fully complete their donation. It is a 

privilege to have the commitment of businesses with such 

integrity. 

We have also received considerable in kind gifts or heavily 

sponsored products to help complete our House. Most of 

which was used to complete the interior fit out well below 

budget but still to a high standard. 

As the year drew to a close, and our final commitments 

to the building project drew to an end. I am delighted 

to report prudent management of the capital project 

combined with the generosity of so many has resulted in 

our debt being considerably lower than forecast. 

We look forward now to the annual task of raising the 

considerable funds required to operate our new facilities 

with the overall objective of our Trust, once again, being 

debt free.

For the year ended 31 December 2012

statements of the Trust are General Purpose financial reports which have been prepared in accordance with generally 

accepted accounting practice (NZ GAAP) 

2. Ronald McDonald House Wellington Trust qualifies for differential reporting because it is defined as not large. All differential 

reporting exemptions have been applied. 

3. All costs directly attributable to the building of the new house have been capitalised. While under construction the building 

was not depreciated. 

4. The summary financial statements have been extracted from the full financial statements. The financial statements of 

Ronald McDonald House Wellington Trust including Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Financial Position and 

Statement of Movements in Equity cannot provide a full understanding due to their summary nature. This understanding can 

be obtained only in reference to the annual financial statements of the Trust. 

5. A copy of the financial statements may be obtained on request from the Trust’s office Telephone (04) 389-5055,

Trustee 

Report of the Independent Auditor on 

the Summary Financial Statements 

To the Board of Ronald McDonald House Wellington Trust 

The accompanying summary financial statements, which 

comprise the summary statement of financial position as 

at 31 December 2012, the summary income statement and 

summary statement of changes in equity for the year then 

ended, and related notes, are derived from the audited 

financial statements of Ronald McDonald House Wellington 

Trust (‘Ronald McDonald House’) for the year ended 31 

December 2012. We expressed a qualified audit opinion on 

those financial statements in our report dated 2 April 2012 

(see below). Those financial statements, and the summary 

financial statements, do not reflect the effects of events 

that occurred subsequent to the date of our report on those 

financial statements. 

The summary financial statements do not contain all the 

disclosures required for full financial statements under 

generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. 

Reading the summary financial statements, therefore, is not 

a substitute for reading the audited financial statements of 

Ronald McDonald House. 

Boards’ Responsibility for the Summary Financial 

Statements 

The Board are responsible for the preparation of a summary of 

the audited financial statements in accordance with FRS-39: 

Summary Financial Reports. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the summary 

financial statements based on our procedures, which were 

conducted in accordance with International Standard on 

Auditing (New Zealand) (ISA (NZ)) 810 Engagements to Report 

on Summary Financial Statements. 

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship 

with, or interests in, Ronald McDonald House. 

Opinion 

In our opinion, the summary financial statements derived 

from the audited financial statements of Ronald McDonald 

House Wellington Trust for the year ended 31 December 

2012 are consistent, in all material respects, with those 

financial statements, in accordance with FRS-39. However, the 

summary financial statements are qualified to the equivalent 

extent as the audited financial statements of Ronald 

McDonald House for the year ended 31 December 2012. 

Controls over revenue from Street Appeal income recorded 

at $70,881 within the classification of Capital Campaign 

income in the Statement of Financial Performance, prior to 

being recorded are limited, and there are no practical audit 

procedures to determine the effect of these limited controls. 

Accordingly, the completeness of Street Appeal income 

and Accumulated Funds is unable to be determined. Our 

qualified audit opinion states that, except for the effects of 

the described matter, those financial statements comply with 

generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and 

give a true and fair view of the financial position of Ronald 

McDonald House at 31 December 2012, and its financial 

performance for the year then ended. 

BDO Wellington
