Last year, you showed up for our little warriors in the most beautiful way.

This year, we're doing it again. 🎉Join us at Bracken City Shopping Centre on March 28 from 9am to 1pm, where Victor will be out to spread some joy and where every rand raised goes directly to the children who need it most.

Can't make it on the day? You can still be part of the magic: Please donate cupcakes by March 27 (drop-off: 15 Heidelberg Road, New Market, Alberton) or kindly make a monetary donation to help us purchase cupcakes for the sale.

Let's make 2025 even bigger.

We were blessed to welcome the incredibly talented team from Treble Clef School of Music to our children's unit, and what a beautiful experience it was.

Through the power of music therapy, they brought joy, wonder, and a little magic to our little warriors - our brave children facing life-limiting illnesses and conditions. Watching their eyes light up and seeing how engaged and alive they were in those moments reminded us of just how powerful music can be as a source of comfort and stimulation.

It truly touched our hearts. Treble Clef School of Music has generously volunteered to visit our children's unit once a week, giving our little ones something beautiful to look forward to each and every week.

We are beyond grateful to the Treble Clef team for their kindness, their talent, and their enormous hearts.

A heartfelt thank you to Alet and Retha from NHK Alberton for their incredibly generous donation to Stepping Stone Hospice. Your kindness means more than words can express and because of you, our patients will be kept warm and comfortable through the cold winter months ahead.

We are deeply grateful for your support and for the love behind this gift. Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk Alberton should be very proud to have such generous and caring hearts among them.

Together with our beloved mascot Victor, we'll be at Bracken City Shopping Centre on March 28 from 9am to 1pm to raise awareness and much-needed funds in support of our youngest and most vulnerable patients.

This meaningful event, made possible thanks to the generosity of Bracken City, is an opportunity for the community to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of local children and their families during their most difficult times.

At the heart of the day’s fundraising will be a cupcake sale, with all proceeds going directly towards the care of our young patients. You can play a part in two ways - by donating cupcakes to be sold on the day by no later than March 27, or by making a monetary donation to help purchase cupcakes for the sale. Cupcake donations can be dropped off at 15 Heidelberg Road, New Market, Alberton (Adult IPU).

Stepping Stone Hospice was honoured with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Cornea Foundation, an NPO dedicated to the elimination of corneal blindness in SA.

The Cornea Foundation visited us to express their heartfelt gratitude for our role in spreading awareness and connecting people with their life-changing corneal transplant programme.

Thanks to the collective efforts of Stepping Stone and other palliative care partners, the Cornea Foundation has successfully performed over 200 corneal transplants - meaning more than 200 people who were once blind can now see.

The Foundation presented Stepping Stone Hospice with a Certificate of Appreciation and a celebratory cake in recognition of our contribution to this incredible cause. A special thank you to Marlize de Jager of the Cornea Foundation for her dedication and for taking the time to acknowledge our team.

There are businesses, and then there are pillars of a community and Kipling Liquor Store is undoubtedly the latter.

For 39 years, this beloved local store has been a fixture in Raceview, and time and again they show up for the people and causes that matter most. We are so incredibly grateful that they have chosen to support Stepping Stone's upcoming golf day, and we simply couldn't let that go without saying a very public and very sincere thank you. 🙏

It is the generosity of supporters like Kipling Liquor Store that makes everything we do possible - from the care we provide every single day, to special events like the one we have coming up, and we are truly touched by their kindness.

Become part of this meaningful day by booking a Four-ball and a marketing hole. It's a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business to a targeted audience of local entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders. For a nominal fee, you’ll gain valuable exposure while helping a vital cause.

We’re also seeking sponsorships and donations, including cash donations to help cover lunch, dinner expenses and prizes for the event.

This morning, our Management team and Departmental Heads gathered together for our Strategic Planning Session, hosted at the wonderful Jonsson Workwear and what a welcome it was! We were greeted with warm cappuccinos that set the perfect tone for a day filled with meaningful conversation and forward-thinking.

To the Jonsson Workwear Alberton team - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for opening your doors to us and making us feel so at home. Your warmth and hospitality truly reflected the spirit of community that we at Stepping Stone hold so dear.

Our strat session today was centred around one unwavering commitment - continuing to excellence in palliative care. We asked ourselves the hard questions, we listened to one another, and we reaffirmed our dedication to walking alongside patients and families during life's most tender moments.
