This Women’s Day, we honour the heart of East Rand Palliative Care.

From our dedicated nursing sisters and admin staff to our shop managers, volunteer teams, and every woman working quietly behind the scenes — it’s the compassion, strength, and resilience of women that carry our mission forward each day.

They are the hands that hold, the voices that comfort, the minds that organise, the hearts that lead, and the energy that keeps everything moving — delivering care, connection, and support in countless ways that reach far beyond the bedside.

To all the incredible women who form the backbone of our organisation — and to every woman in our community — we celebrate you.

These special finds will be available for two days only, from Thursday, 7 August to Friday, 8 August. Pop in during shop hours and discover a gift that gives back.

A heartfelt thank you to George's Bakery for partnering with East Rand Palliative Care and donating your gorgeous and oh-so-tasty chocolate chip cookies for us to hand out during the Shuffling Walking Team’s annual walk on Sunday.

They went down an absolute treat and added a sweet touch to a special day spent with our supporters.

We’re so grateful not only for this delicious gesture, but for your continued support of community initiatives. Your kindness truly makes a difference!

This morning was nothing short of inspiring. We had the privilege of joining the incredible The Shuffling Walking Team for their annual walk—an event filled with heart, hope, and a powerful sense of purpose. Each year, these remarkable women, their dedicated team, and the beautiful community that supports them come together to raise funds for cancer patients and nonprofits doing life-changing work.

We are deeply honoured to be among the beneficiaries of their generosity again this year. The donation we received this morning will go a long way in supporting those who need it most—and for that, we are beyond grateful.

Words often fall short when trying to express the depth of our appreciation. But from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Thank you to the Shuffling Walking Sisters, their supporters, and every single person who walks, donates, or cheers them on. You are making a real difference in the lives of many.

We’re all set up at The Shuffling Walking Team walk here in Bedfordview today. Come chat to us. We’d love to share why we’ve changed our name and how we can help you or your loved one while journeying through a life threatening illness from the time of diagnosis.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Grade 1 learners of Hurlyvale Primary School for supporting our Bring-A-Thing initiative for Mandela Day.

Each little one arrived with pre-loved items in hand, all donated to East Rand Palliative Care to be resold in our charity shops. These contributions go a long way in helping us raise the funds needed to support individuals facing life-threatening illnesses.

We are deeply humbled and sincerely grateful to Hurlyvale Primary School, the Grade 1 learners, and their parents for the kindness and support shown.
