Harbour Hospice Awareness Month runs from 1 to 31 May with local businesses and supermarkets standing alongside us in support of our vital work. Harbour Hospice Chief Executive, Amanda Fowler, says Harbour Hospice has always been humbled by the generosity of its community, and that support has never been more important than it is now.

“The health sector is under immense pressure and hospices nationally are facing significant financial strain. We see the profound impact hospice has on the lives of our community every day, and we need continued support to ensure we’re here long into the future,” Fowler says.

“Everyone deserves to live well until they die, with this campaign seeking to show the often unseen work of our exceptional teams. When a patient needs us, we pick up the phone any time of the day or night. And when a loved one is scared or feeling alone, hospice is there to wrap around them too.”

Lots of local businesses will be showing their support across the month. Harbour Hospice shops will also be inviting you to add an extra dollar to your purchase. Every dollar you give online during Harbour Hospice Awareness Month will be matched by our Principal Partners: Mason Containers, Move by Design, Diamond Fusion & Northland Waste.

Please support us today, so we can continue to care for patients, their families and whānau when they need us most.
