Nana’s scones, Grandad’s Sunday pancakes, Dad’s homemade bread with honey, Mum’s famous pavlova at Christmas... we all have our own “forever recipes.”

These are the meals, baking, and flavours tied to people we love and miss. A simple recipe can hold a lifetime of memories - a lasting legacy of comfort, connection, and time shared together.

This month, North Haven Hospice is inviting you to honour your loved ones with A Taste to Remember.

Gather your friends, whānau, workmates, or community and host a fundraiser to share a favourite dish, baking, drink, or family recipe in support of a very special cause.

How you can take part:
• A staff morning tea
• A shared potluck
• A family celebration
• A bake sale
• A dinner party
• A cooking class

To learn more and find out how to turn your “Taste to Remember” into a meaningful fundraiser for North Haven Hospice, visit our website: https://www.northhavenhospice.org.nz/taste

This week I popped into our Waipu shop to see what treasures I could uncover, and what a delightful surprise it was!

It may be small in size, but it’s absolutely mighty when it comes to its collection. From shelves of books waiting to be rediscovered, to charming furniture pieces and fabulous crockery, there’s truly something for everyone.

If you haven’t visited yet, Waipu is well worth the stop—you never know what hidden gem you might find!

“We’ve all been touched in some way by the amazing service that hospice provides, whether it’s a family member or friend that has been through there.”

Did you know that amazing organisations like the Hikurangi Mountain Lions run fundraising events to raise money to support North Haven Hospice?

Fundraising events like the Hikurangi Lions Golf Tournament are pivotal to closing the $4 million funding gap needed annually to keep free hospice care accessible to those who need it.

We encourage anybody to get involved and give North Haven Hospice a hand!

Our heartfelt thanks to the Pakotai Parakao Community Group who raised $22,500 for North Haven Hospice and $22,500 for Kaipara hospice with their horse trek in March. Dr Antonio (right) went to accept our cheque and share our appreciation for all their hard work. The trek looked absolutely amazing!
Without community fundraisers we cannot keep our services free in our community. If you have an idea for a fundraiser, get in touch with us today fundraising@northhavenhospice.org.nz
