Dear cherished friends and community members,

We warmly invite you to join us for our annual Remembrance Tree and Gift Wrapping event—a heartfelt tradition that brings us together in love and reflection.

From 11–21 December at Yamanto Central, you can visit our stall to write a message on a beautiful butterfly tag. With a small gold coin donation, your butterfly will adorn our tree or can be taken home as a keepsake, helping us create a meaningful display of shared memories.

Take the stress of gift wrapping away for a gold coin donation (per gift) and support Ipswich Hospice Care this Christmas.

December 11 to December 22

Weekdays: 12pm to 4pm

Thursdays: 10am to 7pm

Weekends: 10am to 4.30pm

Want to help?
We’re also seeking volunteers to support this special event. If you’re interested, please contact us on 3812 0063.

We look forward to seeing you at the Remembrance Tree, where your presence and stories truly matter.

Hilda's House is now home to 2 lovely leather lounge suites, which will be used by our counselling clients.

Ipswich Hospice was a grateful recipient of one of the Brothers Leagues Club Ipswich Brothers Helping Others Grants which allowed us to purchase these lounges.

Harvey Norman, Booval, kindly gave us a large discount on the lounge suites, which enabled us to apply for the grant.

Thank you to both organisations - our counselling clients are enjoying the comfortable new additions to Hilda's House.

On World Kindness Day, our CEO/DON Gail Rogers, was invited to address the district CWA members at the Glamorgan Vale Community Hall.

World Kindness Day, from the World Kindness Movement, is a universal awareness day about promoting the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world, and is celebrated on the 13th of November every year.

It is a reminder that all simple acts of kindness have power and that together, we can all work to create a kinder world. Every kind act, even the smallest one, creates a ripple effect, that is bigger than you could ever imagine.

Last week we said farewell to 2 wonderful ladies.

Thank you, Maggie McNeill, for all of the work that you have undertaken for Hospice and the connections that you have made within the Ipswich community.

Thank you also to Steph - we have enjoyed our year with you as our Art Therapy Student, and we have all learnt to take the time to look after ourselves.

ACS Group QLD are currently replacing some of our paved pathways, as they have become uneven due to being invaded by tree roots. Thank you to Shayne Neumann MP for the grant which is assisting in this work.

The named pavers have been carefully removed and will be replaced into the pathway in the rose garden early in 2026. Some phone calls about the moving of these pavers have occurred, and others are still being followed up.

Updates related to the Hospice Car Park and freshly concreted pathways:
- Carpark open this afternoon (Tues arvo) and this evening. Staff coming on duty can park in the Hospice car park.
- Carpark open tomorrow (Wednesday) 12th Nov.
- Car park CLOSED Thursday 13th November due to the final concrete pour (truck on site).

Pathways will remain out of bounds and blocked off with danger tape until Monday (17th Nov) afternoon.

Heavy traffic on the pathways whilst they are still "green" will result in damage - your cooperation with our closures will be greatly appreciated.

Today our CEO/DON, Gail Rogers, attended the Ipswich RSL Sub Branch Inc to lay a wreath on behalf of all veterans who have passed away at Ipswich Hospice.
