Leaving Hospice West Auckland a Bequest
"Leaving a gift in your will, means that your generosity will be alive for many years to come"
A bequest is a good way to gift money or a valuable item without having to consider your day to day financial situation.
Your bequest can be confidential, although if you are considering, or have made a bequest, we would like to know about it so that we can thank you appropriately.
A bequest can be made in many ways and your lawyer or Trust Company is the best person to advise you on these matters. If wording is required, we suggest:
"I give to Hospice West Auckland, 52 Beach Road, Te Atatu Peninsula, for it's general purposes (or for a specified purpose): a percentage of my estate / or the residue of my estate / or the following property / or assets / or an amount of money".
"A receipt given on behalf of Hospice West Auckland shall be sufficient discharge to my trustees for the gift and nor shall my trustees be bound to see to the application of the gift".
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this option in confidence, please call Margaret Hudson on 09 834 9752.

Where Your Money Goes
All donations of money and/or goods are totally dedicated to the hospice services and retained within our community.
While a portion of our funding is received from the Waitemata District Health Board, approximately $1,000,000 needs to be fund-raised to ensure we can continue providing our services free of charge to the people of greater West Auckland.
If you or your family and friends give a donation to Hospice West Auckland "In Lieu of Flowers" - at a funeral, or "In Memoriam", then this donation goes into a perpetual trust and is not used for daily operations. The trust, and your gift will keep on giving, as the trust fund future proofs the long term viability of the Hospice West Auckland.
 Fundraising StatementHospice West Auckland exists so that terminally ill people in West Auckland, those at the end of life and those who grieve for them, experience death as a dignified and compassionately supported process.
Hospice West Auckland provides free 24 hour, 7 day a week specialist palliative care. Our focus is on relieving physical pain and emotional and/or spiritual concerns of patients, care givers and their families, so that they experience end of life in the best possible way.

Our income is partially sourced from a contact with the Waitemata District Health Board to provide specialist community palliative care services in West Auckland. The remainder is fundraised through donations, grants and trading income from our Hospice second hand goods shops. Our work could not continue without our 400 volunteers who work over 790 hours per week, serving in our retail shops and supporting our day respite programmes.
