Huge thanks to Mark and the team at Core Refrigeration for their generosity and care during a recent kitchen upgrade at Hospice Waikato. While we funded the install, their team went above and beyond - fixing extra bits, working around our staff, and offering us a wickedly fair deal. Great people doing great work. We’re very grateful.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Dame Susan Hassall, who has recently been appointed a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to education — a truly deserved honour.

Susan joined the Hospice Waikato Board in January 2019 and has been a steadfast source of wisdom, compassion and leadership ever since. In 2024/2025, she generously took a 10‑month sabbatical from the Board to serve as Acting CEO of Hospice Waikato, guiding our organisation with care, clarity and heart during a pivotal time.

We are delighted that Susan has stepped into the role of Board Chair, continuing her commitment to our patients, whānau, staff and wider community. We are deeply grateful for the loving guidance Susan so willingly gives to Hospice Waikato, and we are honoured to walk alongside such an inspiring leader.

We recently had a lovely visit from some amazing student volunteers from Hamilton Girls' High💛

Our wonderful Volunteer Coordinator took the girls through our Head Office, introducing them to the many different people and roles that help make Hospice Waikato what it is. It was such a great opportunity to show them the behind-the-scenes of our organisation and the impact every team plays in supporting our community.

We are so incredibly grateful for all the help these students have given us this year in our Hospice Shops. Their hard work, positivity, and willingness to help has made such a difference.

And to make the visit even more special, our alumni in the Marketing Team got to say hello too 😊

Thank you girls for your time, energy, and support. We love having you as part of the Hospice Waikato whānau ✨
