Shorts4Hospice

Amandeep from Waipuna Hospice

The days are getting colder, which means it’s nearly time to bare the legs in support of Waipuna Hospice.

Why should you wear shorts for Hospice?
As a charity, all of our services are provided at no cost to the patients and their family, but to be able to do this and support our local community we need to raise over $3.7 million per year.
Shorts4Hospice is one way we can raise funds and ask for donations in a fun and inclusive way. Every dollar raised from Shorts4Hospice goes towards enabling our team of nurses, doctors, social workers, counsellors and volunteers to ensure we provide the highest standard of palliative care services within our community.

How it works
Friday 21 June is the day when we ask you, your friends and colleagues to wear shorts in support of Waipuna Hospice.
Get out your brightest, boldest, biggest, craziest, most trendy shorts and have some fun while raising money for Waipuna Hospice. Register, donate or challenge others to get on board, share your photos on Facebook, decorate the office or create an event or set up Givealittle page to help fundraise! Life is short – make it count!

Registration Options
Choose an option to suit you as an individual, School, Group, Organisation or Corporate Business. It’s a great day to throw out inhibitions and challenges you to have fun, celebrate life and make the most of every day!

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
