We receive less than 1.5% of our costs from the Government’s Innovations Funding scheme to provide bereavement Support and Caregiver Education. This leaves an enormous gap each year for us to find the balance to ensure we can continue to provide all our services free of charge​. We also purchase and lend items that help make life easier for those with any kind of terminal illness, such as medical equipment, special beds, pressure gel mattress and chairs. We rely on the generosity of individuals, groups and organisations to support our much needed services, for which we are extremely grateful.

Please consider supporting our vision by leaving a gift to Hospice Wairarapa in your Will. Your bequest will ensure we can still be there for people who need our support for many years to come.
