Bob Scott Retirement Village

Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Te Omanga Hospice’s Annual Street Appeal

Te Omanga Hospice

Te Omanga Hospice’s Annual Street Appeal is taking place during Hospice Awareness Week on Friday 17, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May (Upper Hutt Brewtown Market only on Sunday).

You will see our official volunteer collectors out on the street (come rain or shine) across the Hutt Valley, wearing pink aprons and holding white donation buckets.

Please give generously when you see an official collector.

We need your support to keep our services free for all those who need us. Together we can make a difference to the over 600 patients and their families we care for each year.

If you can’t donate at one of our collection sites during the appeal, you can also donate through our Givealittle page givealittle.co.nz... or online at www.teomanga.org.nz...

Thank you for your support!
