Hospice Wairarapa Open Day - Saturday 22 March

Emma Batt from Hospice Wairarapa

As part of national Hospice Awareness Week, and to celebrate our 10yrs+1 Anniversary serving the Wairarapa, you are invited come and have a good look around our community Hospice, learn about our free services and chat with some of our friendly staff and wonderful volunteers.

Our extremely popular Garage Sale will be running, as well as a bake sale, plant sale and sausage sizzle...so there's plenty of opportunities to grab a bargain while you're here.

We don’t have patient beds yet, and there are no activities for patients on the weekend, but there will be lots going on that will give a great idea of how we support people in our community on a palliative journey.

Free entry. All welcome.
