We’re sponsoring the 2024 Hospice House Tour

Over the past few years, we've built a strong relationship with North Haven Hospice in Whangārei, working together and collaborating on a number of events and projects. Like us, they are passionate about supporting people in the community to start conversations about end of life when they have space and time to consider what’s important to them and feel empowered to better plan for end-of-life.

This year, we are showing our support for the incredible staff and volunteers at North Haven Hospice by sponsoring the 2024 Hospice House Tour, a biennial event that is run by Whangārei Give For Good to raise funds. Generous owners of beautiful and inspiring Whangārei homes open their doors for two full days in November for ticket holders to explore. The event offers exclusive access to a variety of creative and inspiring homes, including architecturally designed award-winners, with stunning views along the Tutukākā Coast.

Go With Grace Website

North Haven have been amazing advisors to us on anything palliative care related as we developed content for the Go With Grace website leading up to our launch in November last year. Much of the information in the ‘Preparing for Death’ section of the website was based on the Hospice New Zealand guide for people caring for someone with a life-limiting condition. They have continued to support us by reviewing information, suggesting changes and connecting us with new resources so we can continue to improve and grow.

Free Community Events

In February this year, we were delighted to bring renowned French Author and Clinical Psychologist, Marie de Hennezel to Whangarei to present two sold out community events co-hosted by North Haven Hospice. Marie was an incredible speaker with decades of knowledge and experience working in palliative care – she was responsible for bringing the Hospice movement to France in the 1980s, helping to set up the country’s first palliative care unit.
