🐾 Owl has been checking out the progress at Foy Road… and there’s a lot happening!
Our new first ever purpose-built Franklin Hospice is now taking shape.
This building is about much more than bricks and concrete. It will give our clinical team the space and facilities we need to support people with life-limiting illness and their whānau, now and well into the future.
Franklin Hospice provides specialist palliative care 365 days a year, across more than 2,500 km² of southern Auckland and northern Waikato. Our nurses travel from Drury in the north, across the Awhitu Peninsula, south to Port Waikato and east to Kaiaua and Miranda — supporting people in their own homes, often across significant distances.
Our new Foy Road hospice will provide a purpose-built base for that care, including clinical and therapy spaces, day-use patient rooms, family support and facilities designed specifically around the needs of patients and whānau.
But we still need to raise approximately $2.6 million to complete it. That is where we need our community.
You can help by:
• donating to the build
• introducing us to businesses, trusts or people who may be able to support us
• sharing our story with your networks
• helping us spread the word about what Franklin Hospice does every single day
Every donation, introduction and share helps us move closer to opening the doors.

We’re building Franklin’s hospice for the future — and we need Franklin behind us.
