Give to our charity shop:

We have two quite different Hospice Shops, both situated in Timaru. One is our 68 Orbell Street Shop, this specialises in Bric a Brac, Ladies Clothing, Shoes, Jackets etc. The other is our 54 Church Street shop which specialises in furniture, electrical, mens wear and houshold items. We greatly appreciate donations of items of quality that can still be enjoyed again by someone else, we have a pick up service if your item is too large or you can not get into our shops, just call Noeleen on 03 688 3965, otherwise you can drop your treasures off to either of our shops. The funding raised provides a valuable source of income for direct patient care and comfort.

Another way to help is to purchase goods from our shop, we also have gift vouchers available for our Orbell Street shop, this is a great way of giving twice, once to the recipient and also to Hospice when you purchase it.
