Please help us fit-out Te Whare Rānui!
Mary Potter Hospice is excited to have built Te Whare Rānui, our new Hospice hub in Rānui Heights, Porirua. We have raised $1,064,688 toward this building, and the main work is nearly complete. But we need your donations to raise another $100,000 so we can finish the fit-out of this hub.
The development of Te Whare Rānui will enable us to better meet the growing and diverse needs of people in this community facing a terminal illness. While raising this money this is a big challenge, we know how generous the Porirua community has been for Mary Potter Hospice in the past. Please contribute what you can to support Mary Potter Hospice – every donation counts, and we are grateful for all your gifts.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
