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.

This is because watering restrictions have now been eased for Metropolitan Wellington and South Wairarapa 👏
“Community action in limiting water use, paired with the hot summer peak use period coming to an end, means we are confident about removing watering restrictions across the region” says Laurence Edwards, Chief Advisor Drinking Water.
Please continue to be mindful of water use as the rivers, lakes and aquifers recover. 💧
Please remember that alternate day, odds-evens watering still applies in Upper Hutt, and South Wairarapa as it does all year round.

Both lionesses had been closely monitored by veterinary staff over the past 18 months due to age-related health concerns, and Djane’s health recently deteriorated.
Lions have been part of Wellington Zoo community since it opened in 1906, when the Zoo was gifted a male lion called King Dick.
Wellington Zoo said it would look at starting a new pride of lions in the future, but it was likely to be awhile until a firm plan was in place.
