Hospice Awareness Week 2026


Hospice is more than care at the end of life. It’s connection, support, and love that wraps around people and their whānau. 

Why your support matters

This care is only possible with community support. This essential service is free for patients and their whānau but it’s not free to provide.  Hospices across Aotearoa rely on the support of their communities to keep this care going.

Watch these powerful stories of wrap around love that illustrate the ripple effect of hospice care. These stories show how compassion extends far beyond the bedside, reaching into the lives of whānau, friends, volunteers, staff, and the wider community.

Hospice care is about living well, right to the end of life. It is wraparound support that honours dignity, connection, and choice, while also walking alongside whānau through grief and bereavement.

Through this campaign, we hope to deepen understanding of hospice care and the impact it has, not just for those at the end of life, but for everyone connected to them.
