Dignity Trolley

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

"We were gifted the Dignity Trolley during our father's final days.

We were so grateful, on the night he was admitted, for the love and care taken to set up the trolley.

On Monday morning the hospital chaplain, Kathryn, refreshed the trolley for us. This gave us time to grieve when he passed away that afternoon.

We will always be grateful for the thoughtfulness that has gone into this trolley. Thank you so much." – Chrissy


What is the Dignity Trolley?

The Dignity Trolley is for patients, who are at the end of their life—and for their families—who are by their bedside.
The trolley is laden with fine china, speciality tea and coffee, and homemade baking.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
