Kind Hands

$3,017 donated
Given by 27 generous donors in 2 years

The final push! Be a part of something unique - and leave your handprint there! Or buy for as a lasting gift for a friend/loved one.

Nationwide

We are nearly there, we have space a few more handprints - get on board and help us finsih the Chapel.

Read more! At Taranaki Retreat, there will be - a sanctuary - a lovely simple wooden building - a place for prayer, meditation, reflection and counselling to happen. For anyone staying on the Retreat to have a space for time out. There will be gentle lighting, quiet music and a place to light a candle.

The Chapel will be built entirely from kind-hands gifts. A kind hand is a donation of $40. What does this mean? When this gorgeously simple building has been constructed, the back and side outside walls will be beautifully covered with stencilled hand-prints - in the colours of the rainbow. Each hand will have someone's name written on it - the name of the donor or donor's message - so that every time the Chapel is used, those gathered there will know that they are surrounded by the love of 100's of kind hands.

It's SIMPLE! Choose to donate $40 per handprint, and in the donor comments mention your preferred colour and the name you'd like written in the handprint.
