Mary Potter Hospice are seeking volunteers on Friday 18 or Saturday 19 May for the Hospice Annual Street Appeal. Can you spare an hour or two to help keep our Hospice services free for our community? Our annual street appeal is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it also lets us increase the awareness and availability of the special services that Mary Potter Hospice provides just for our Wellington region. Be part of the positive community vibe! Get a team together and apply today!
Working location
We have collection spots throughout Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti. We would really welcome interest from a small team willing to volunteer to run a collection site for a day or part of a day. Please nominate a lead contact to apply on behalf of your team.
Proposed project steps with time estimates
You can volunteer from 1 hour through to both days in an area convenient to you, and we’ll provide you with guidelines and collection equipment. If you are a team interested in volunteering you can have a collection site and have a rota of your colleagues covering for part of a day/1 or 2 days. Any help would be very much appreciated.
What We Have In Place
You will be given everything you need for the day (Bibs, collection buckets etc) and have an area coordinator to oversee and be the contact on the day.

Mission
Mary Potter Hospice provides specialist palliative care services, free of charge, for the people of Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti. We care for people and their family or whanau, where a person’s illness cannot be cured, is getting worse and faced with a limited time to live.
What we Do
We seek to be alongside, supporting and assisting their quality of life, their dying and their bereavement. In the last year we provided care and support for 869 patients and their families living with a life limiting illness.
Our vision is that people in our communities who need palliative care have access to compassionate and and quality care, when and where they need it.
We support our patients in their own home, in residential care or at our Inpatient Unit in Newtown. Our three community teams are made up of doctors, nurses, counsellors and therapists who provide holistic care and support.
Wherever you are the Hospice philosophy applies: care for the whole person, not just your physical needs but also emotional, spiritual and social needs. The goal is to improve the quality of life that remains, understand what matters most in life and focus on the person and their family.
