    Finally the new Maternity wing at Whangarei Hospital has opened. It is stunning as well as very functional.

    There is a Butterfly room which will be used by women and their families who lose a baby The area is fully self contained and on one wall one of our Sands members has painted a butterfly scene. Our group Sands Northland/Whangarei has donated a bed settee which folds out to be a full size queen bed. The money was raised by community grant, private donations and fund-raising by our group. Other smaller items have also been purchased to help make the room more homely. Please look at the photos in our gallery and thank you so much those of you who have donated in the past.

  • Butterfly Room, Whangarei Hospital ....how we are going with fundraising

      10 June 2015

    So far with Givealittle donations, a grant and members' raffles we have raised $3,220.00. A sofa-bed has been ordered. This will enable a partner to stay the night which is so important in a time of grief. We are still hoping to provide a TV and other furnishings which will make the room more homely. Our goal is to raise $5,000.00.

    We are so grateful for the support coming in.
