Hospice Waikato | In Lieu of Gifts for Christmas

Let’s face it most of us don’t need more stuff - why not celebrate Christmas by giving back and asking family to make a donation instead of a gift? Help support families who are facing a terminal illness.

Hospice Waikato services the entire region of the Waikato and we need to raise more than $5 million each year from our HospiceShops and generous donations gifted by people just like you.

Hospice is a special way of caring for people who have an advanced, progressive and life limiting disease that requires the services of a specialist palliative care team.

Hospice Waikato is committed to delivering the latest and most innovative approaches in pain and symptom management. Our focus is on improving a patient’s quality of life by creating a more comfortable environment for them and their loved ones whether this be in the home, at rest homes or our in-patient unit.

This year, we expect to care for over 1,500 patients and their families.
