Hospice Awareness Week 2025
12th - 18th May
"Hospice Services are at Risk of Disappearing."
Starting on the 12th May, Hospice Awareness Week runs until the following Sunday.
This year, our campaign highlights the need for our Government to fund Hospices fairly. Through fundraising, bequests and donations our local Hospice must raise around $400,000 every year to keep our doors open. With the NZ Health system stretched as it is, funding for Hospices in NZ is under threat.
A recent study has shown that in as little as 12 months, total expenditure will exceed government and community funding. Government and community funding isn't increasing at the same rate as the cost of living, and more and more people are needing Hospice care.
1 in 3 New Zealanders will one day need Hospice care and we need to be there for them when they need it.
We think Hospice care is a necessity, and we would like for you and everyone that you think might be interested to join us on Friday 16th May at 10am – 11am so you can see for yourself.
Please come and join us for a cup of tea and a biscuit, meet our staff, see where we work, and we can show you what Hospice does in the community.
