Arohanui Hospice

12/05/2026

Earlier this year Christopher’s family had some pretty rubbish news - his step father had stage four cancer. That news got him thinking about what he could do to give back and support Arohanui Hospice. As a keen cyclist the idea emerged “why not try and ride for 24 hours?”

1 day - 1 man - 1 bike - 1 goal - raise as much as possible for Arohanui Hospice. He’d love to see as many people as possible come to the velodrome to support or even do a lap with him!

You can support Christopher by donating to his Give A Little at https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/cycling-for-a-cause

We'll share his page which you can follow for updates in the comments!

This week is Hospice Awareness Week, and we’d like to take a moment to share with you what Arohanui Hospice care looks like in our community.

For many of those we support, Arohanui Hospice isn’t just a building- it’s care that comes to them. Last year alone, hospice teams made over 4,500 visits, with 81% of patients receiving support entirely at home.

Our services are available to anyone facing a life limiting illness. Last year alone our team cared for 1,216 patients, with demand growing every year.

Arohanui Hospice receives around 50% of our funding from government, with the remaining funding made possible through the generosity of our community.

If you’d like to support this care, you can find out more or make a contribution on our website https://www.arohanuihospice.org.nz/

Thank you for supporting Arohanui Hospice 💞

Did you know only half of the funding for Arohanui Hospice care comes from government? The other half (just over $4.7M) is raised in our community.

The care we provide — from visits in people’s homes, to support in our inpatient unit, and programmes for patients and whānau — is only possible because of the support around us.

So this Hospice Awareness Month take a moment to reflect on the care Hospice provides, and, if you’re able to, support the work we do by donating to our cause at https://www.arohanuihospice.org.nz/

May is Hospice Awareness Month, with Hospice New Zealand Awareness Week running from 11–17 May! This is a time to reflect on the role hospice care plays in our community, and the quiet but powerful ripple effect it creates.

For many, Arohanui Hospice isn’t a building. It’s care that comes to them wherever they call home.

Behind every visit is a network of support that extends far beyond the patient. Hospice care wraps around whānau, offering guidance, reassurance, and practical help through some of life’s most challenging moments. It also continues after a death, with bereavement support for those left behind. This is care that reaches into homes, workplaces, and communities — touching far more people than many realize.

This month you’ll see more from us about what we do, the funding challenges we face, and the huge impact your support makes in the lives of hundreds of families across our community ❤️

Gallagher Insurance do an incredible job fundraising to support the Arohanui Hospice each year with their annual golf tournament. This year they’ve raised $6,500 to support those in our community who rely on Hospice support. They do this with the help of their amazing key sponsor Helloworld Travel who we’d like to say a huge thank you to.

This is Gallagher’s third year of running the tournament and to date they have raised over $10,000 to support hospice care.

Thank you to the Gallagher team and your sponsors for the work you do supporting our local community, we couldn’t be more grateful 💙
