January 2025 Newsletter
We hope you had a great holiday season and got to relax and enjoy some summer days!
Our team has worked through, ensuring all our patients and their whanau have been cared for and received the support they need.
As we get back into the swing of things, we thought we would share some of the events and fundraisers we have coming up in the next few months:
- 18 February: New volunteer workshop
- 5 April: Riverhaven Fun Run/Walk
- 18 May: Franklin Hospice High Tea
- 12 - 18 May: Hospice Awareness Week
Please pop these dates in your diaries so you don't miss out on these great events.
Our Riverhaven Fun Run/Walk will be on Saturday 5 April. There is a small entry fee and you get your own fundraising page to encourage your friends, colleagues and family to help. On the day, you will have 3 hours to walk this magnificent park and look at the sculptures... or run laps - as many as you can fit in! There will be prizes for best fundraiser, best dressed etc. Keep an eye out in February, we will be sending you all the details.
