Our first Volunteer News issue for 2026 is now available, and it’s full of updates from across Hospice Whanganui.
In this edition, Helen reflects on what has already been a busy start to the year, acknowledging the incredible contribution volunteers make across our organisation and highlighting recent community support, including our Hospice Whanganui Meet & Greet and the Bullocks Group concrete truck partnership through our Business Champions programme.
This issue also looks ahead to two community events coming up soon: Hittaz for Hospice at the Whanganui Racecourse on 22 March, and Small Talks for Hospice on 5 May at Heritage House. Both events help bring people together in support of hospice care in our community.
Inside the newsletter, you’ll also find:
- a volunteer profile on Maureen from Boutique
- a staff profile on Anna, Hospice Whanganui Nurse Lead
- the launch of a new Data Driven, Human Led section, beginning with the story behind the 48,000 kilometres travelled by our Hospice cars over the last year
- an update on our Behind the Counter storytelling campaign and new in-store touchpoints
- volunteer anniversaries, welcomes, and orientation information.
We’re so grateful to every volunteer who gives their time, care, and aroha to Hospice Whanganui. Your contribution makes a real difference to the patients and whānau we support across our region.
