Leaving a Gift in your Will is a deeply personal decision, but for those who choose to do so, it can be a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy of aroha and support.

In this video, we hear from Richard & Alison, two donors who have very kindly decided to leave gifts in their wills to the Mission.

If you’re considering how you’d like your legacy to make a difference, we’d love for you to learn more about Gifts in Wills.

We’re celebrating the people who make Kemp Home & Hospital what it is.

From shared meals and cups of tea to activities, conversations, celebrations and quiet moments together, life at Kemp is about more than care, it’s about connection, dignity and belonging.

Our residents bring with them a lifetime of stories, experiences and memories, and we’re privileged to be part of their journey ❤️

Te Pā Pori: More than a building

You might know it as Wellington’s iconic “Zebra building” on Tory Street, but Te Pā Pori is much more than a familiar landmark.

As our largest transitional housing service, Te Pā Pori can provide a safe and supportive home for up to 70 manuhiri at a time.

While they’re here, manuhiri have access to wraparound support tailored to their needs, from counselling and wellbeing support to employment and tenancy support.

It’s about more than having a roof overhead. It’s about creating stability, building confidence and supporting people to take the next steps towards a home of their own.

And when someone moves on from Te Pā Pori, our support doesn’t end. We stay connected to help make sure they’re settling in and doing okay.

Because a safe home can be the beginning of a whole new chapter. ❤️
