As a nation, we recently held a moving ANZAC Day commemoration. So now is a good time to reflect on how we treat our military personnel during and after their service. It speaks volumes about who we are as New Zealanders.
Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

We're back up and running tomorrow!! Fresh veg, locally grown avocados, plants, scarves and bags, veg seedlings, Waikanae Beach honey, Rawleigh's products, cushions and quilts, recycled treasures and homeware, knitted toys, indoor plants. See you tomorrow!!!

But because of COVID-19 our important May 2020 Street Appeal can’t take place.
No matter what, our work at Mary Potter Hospice carries on, day and night, week in and week out. Our care is always there, through every crisis and emergency.
Please help Mary Potter Hospice continue to provide its free-of-charge hospice care to people with a life-limiting illness in Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti.
Please help us, help others and give generously this Annual Appeal .
Great news - our market will be operating again this coming Tuesday (and hopefully for a few more weeks after that).
