Hospice Awareness Week 2021
To celebrate Hospice Awareness Week (17-23 May) this week, we’ve created a series of short stories and videos that shine a light on the lesser-known aspects of hospice.
The fast and the furious come out to play
Some of our day programme patients recently attended Race 4 Life 2021 - a fantastic annual event run by Race 4 Life Trust.
Volunteer Profile: Nancy Sirisena, Community Visitor
As a community visitor providing companionship to Harbour Hospice patients, Nancy believes she receives far more than she gives.
Volunteer Profile: Bob Wainhouse, Day Programme Entertainer
Patients who attend day programmes at North Shore and Hibiscus House enjoy a live concert of popular songs at every session because a friend of Bob’s disliked classical music.
Chaplains comfortable with silence
We work with people of all faiths and no faith. Everyone has a spiritual aspect to their lives and for some, coming into hospice care provides a first ever opportunity to explore life at a deeper level.
