How you can support us to support patients and their loved onesNorth Haven Hospice is only partly Government-funded, via Northland DHB. The gap between the DHB funding received and the actual cost to provide the service we do is $1.9 million for the 2020/21 year. This works out to us needing to fundraise $36,500 every week.
Fundraising is essential. We rely on donations, community fundraising events, business support, grants, bequests, and Hospice Shop revenue. Every dollar that is raised here, stays here, supporting local people facing the end of life and during bereavement, and providing an essential community health service. We also rely on the incredible contribution by our amazing volunteers who selflessly give their time, skills and knowledge. The majority of volunteers serve at our Hospice Shops in Whangarei’s CBD and Waipu, whilst others are based at the Hospice premises at Tikipunga and perform support duties in our inpatient unit, reception, gardening, Life Reflections patient biography service, therapeutic massage, car valet and patient transport. |
