Mercy Hospice Shop to open in Mt Roskill
Mercy Hospice Auckland is pleased to announce the opening of its 9th shop at Mt Roskill’s bustling retail centre at 22 Stoddard Road (next to Coffee Club and the soon to be opened ASB) on Monday 16th January 2017.
The Mt Roskill Hospice Shop will offer a variety of good quality clothing, homeware and selected furniture items. Christine Magness, our Mt Roskill Retail Manager, will ensure you feel truly welcomed and looked after. Christine will be ably assisted by volunteers who all come from the local Mt Roskill Community and surrounding suburbs.
Mercy Hospice Auckland chose to open a shop at the 22 Stoddard Road Retail Centre due to its wide variety of shops, eateries and services, ample parking and the sense of local pride where locals run stores for locals.
Every time you buy something from one of our nine Mercy Hospice Shops you are helping us to raise funds which directly support the free-of-charge care of some 1,000 patients and families dealing with life-limiting illness every year.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
