40 Years of Care. 40 Years of Community. This year, East Rand Palliative Care celebrates four decades of walking alongside families facing life-threatening illness.

What began in 1986 in a small, rent-free space in Ampthill Avenue has grown into a service that has supported thousands of patients in their own homes across the East Rand. From the very beginning, our focus has remained the same: care with dignity, delivered where it matters most.

For forty years, nursing sisters, staff, volunteers and our wider community have carried this work forward. Together, you have helped ensure that no one has to face serious illness alone.

This anniversary belongs to every family who trusted us, every volunteer who gave their time, and every supporter who kept our nurses on the road.

Forty years on and our commitment remains unchanged.

This month's Day Care was filled with movement, games and plenty of laughter. Our patients enjoyed activities like balloon tennis, ring toss and puzzles before being treated to a delicious pizza lunch, generously sponsored by Petro de Lange together with Del Forno Farrarmere. Buyani House added a sweet touch to the day by sponsoring chocolate bars for dessert.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. If you've like to support our Day Care initiative please reach out to us at volunteerservice@erpc.org.za

For Lent, give in a way that lasts beyond the season. Over the next 40 days, consider setting aside one item each day that you no longer need. By Easter, you will have a bag filled with small acts of generosity that can make a meaningful difference to someone else.

Your donated items help stock our charity shops, and every sale helps fund home-based palliative care for patients and families in our community.

A simple daily habit can become care, comfort, and dignity for someone facing serious illness. Donations can be dropped off at any East Rand Palliative Care charity shop across Ekurhuleni.
