Hospice Wairarapa Open Day - Saturday 22 March
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.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
Do you think changes need made to the current process for building consent? Share your thoughts below.
