Hospice Tairāwhiti
Hospice Tairāwhiti provides community based hospice care for the people of Tairāwhiti, from Morere to Potaka.
Hospice or palliative care is specialised care for people with life limiting conditions. Our focus is on improving quality of life for the person and providing support for the whānau.
Everything we provide is free of charge.
Anyone with a life limiting illness can access hospice care and support.
Hospice is a holistic wrap around service of care.

Winter is here, and so is our latest newsletter here —full of heartwarming stories of generosity and connection. Discover how a circle of giving keeps going ‘round and ‘round: how our community cares for Hospice and Hospice cares for the people in our community.
During Hospice Awareness Week (12–16 May), Hospice Tairāwhiti warmly invites you to join us for a heartfelt tribute of remembrance, reflection, and connection.
From 11am to 1pm each day, we’re hosting free Weaving Stars workshops at Hospice. Come along with whānau, friends, or neighbours—our team will be there to guide you, and tea and coffee will be available.
You’ll also have the chance to dedicate a woven star in memory of someone special with a $5 donation. Can’t make it in person? You can still dedicate a star here
All stars will be displayed in our Hospice Shop window and later become part of our Matariki Remembrance Service in June.
Join us in weaving love, remembrance, and community together.
Can you believe it? Summer has come to an end, and autumn is here! (Though, did we really get much of a summer weather-wise?)
No matter the season, there’s always plenty of news to share. You can read what’s been happening for us at Hospice in our Autumn newsletter here.
