Pre-Xmas Toy Clear-Out!

Do your kids get loads of gifts every Christmas? Get ahead on your New Year’s cleanout by donating any unwanted toys to your local Arohanui Hospice shop.

For many families, second-hand toys are the only affordable option, and your donation could make a child’s Christmas day extra special. Let’s give those toys a second life and spread the joy this holiday season!

Change for Good!

Have you got foreign coins lying around that you can’t exchange? Or even spare NZ coins? Turn them into something meaningful!

Drop your coins at House of Travel, The Square, and they’ll convert them into cash to support Arohanui Hospice. Every little bit makes a big impact — just like last time, when your spare coins helped raise funds for our local hospice care.

Let’s turn small change into big change for our community!

Celebrating an incredible milestone!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of celebrating with the PN Hot Rod Club, who have been proudly supporting Arohanui Hospice for many years through their annual Club Swap Meet.

Thanks to their dedication and generosity, the club has now donated over $40,000 to Hospice — an amazing achievement!

We loved the chance to talk with the club members about the impact their support makes and to personally thank them for their ongoing contribution. Your efforts make a real difference for our patients, families, and community.

Thank you, PNHRC, for helping us provide care and support when it matters most.

Our Wish List
This month, we’re asking for gift vouchers. They may seem small, but together they make a big difference – helping us cover essential costs so more funds can go directly into patient and whānau care.
No matter the amount, your kindness matters. 💞

Barbara is doing it again!

Barbara is bravely shaving her head once more to raise funds for Arohanui Hospice. Having seen the compassionate care provided to her father in his final days, and knowing the support Arohanui gave a close friend’s family, she wanted to give back in a bold way.

Every donation, big or small, will help ensure Arohanui Hospice can continue providing exceptional care to people across our community.

You can support Barbara’s fundraising journey here: https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/shaving-my-head-again

Thank you, Barbara, for your incredible courage and generosity!

💛 In Memory of Mr Crosswell 💛

Mr Jimmy Crosswell was more than a teacher or hostel master at PNBHS — he was a passionate sportsman, husband, father, and role model who inspired so many.

After losing his life to leukaemia in 2017, one of his former students is honouring his memory by shaving his hair at College House — raising funds for Arohanui Hospice and the Manawatū Cancer Society.

“Mr Crosswell was a great man. The Cancer Society and Arohanui Hospice are great charities. I’m hoping together we can make a great contribution.”

We’re deeply grateful for this heartfelt tribute and invite you to show your support:

Chopping the dreads in memory of Mr Crosswell
