Since 2017 The Harcourts Foundation has sponsored the Hospice NZ Grants programme, which provides all member hospices with the opportunity to purchase much needed equipment. In doing so Harcourts supports hospices from the Far North to the deep South to continue their work, enabling people to live every moment in whatever way is important to them.
Hospice NZ Chief Executive Wayne Naylor says:
“Every year, hospices around Aotearoa New Zealand rely on grants and fundraising to purchase much needed equipment to support the care of people with a terminal illness. The continued support of Harcourts makes this just a little bit easier by funding an annual grant programme through Hospice New Zealand. This year, Harcourts has supported eleven hospices with $50,000 to buy critical items such as diagnostic equipment, pain relieving syringe pumps, hospital style beds and chairs. This equipment helps keep people at home with whānau and friends and lets them enjoy life surrounded by the things and people they love.”
2023 Grants Programme.
Hospices around New Zealand have benefited from over $30,000 in specialised equipment, thanks to the 2023 grants provided by the Harcourts Foundation and its supporting business owners.
The grants, have been distributed to 13 hospices nationwide, covering costs for items ranging from beds and mattresses to syringe drivers and new technology.
