Dove Hospice & Wellness x Karen Walker pop-up is b

Dove Hospice & Wellness x Karen Walker pop-up is back again at Playpark by Karen Walker Newmarket this Friday!

From Friday 1 – Sunday 3 July or while stock lasts, Karen will host a mini pop-up in her Newmarket store, offering an eclectic edit of one-of-a-kind pre-loved hand knits to fundraise for our services.

Karen and the team at Dove have combed through the generous donations to the charity to present an eclectic edit of quality hand-knitted wool—each piece is one-of-a-kind, but all feature a common thread; they were lovingly made and worn before being donated to Dove Hospice & Wellness.

Embodying community spirit, Regal Drycleaners, Karen’s long-time neighbours a few doors down, have once again kindly pitched in with their services and all the knits have been dry-cleaned, ready for immediate wear.

The knits will retail for $80 (adults’ sweaters), $35 (children’s sweaters), $35 (blankets), and $20 (accessories), and all the money raised from sales will go to Dove Hospice & Wellness.

We'd like to thank Karen, her team, and Regal Drycleaners for supporting us again this year by hosting this pop-up. We're so thankful for your generosity and the difference that you make in our community! 😊

“I have really enjoyed being in the kitchen and

“I have really enjoyed being in the kitchen and I can remember the first day I arrived... “make 3 loads of club sandwiches and bake a cake by 10:30" and I have never made a club sandwich in my life! It was a very fast learning curve.

What I really love about volunteering here is the atmosphere in this house. The beauty in this house, the love in this house, the care that the staff gives to the patients. It’s just amazing. It's an incredible experience to come in here and see just how wonderful this facility is.”

Our Dove House Volunteer Advocate, Carol, has been with us for the past 3 years. Her lovely energy, warmth, enthusiasm, and hard work is always wonderful to have around Dove.

We appreciate all your time and effort that you have spent with us Carol, thank you! 🙏🏼

Mānawatia a Matariki — Happy Māori New Year!

Mānawatia a Matariki — Happy Māori New Year!

This month before Matariki approached, the Dove Team was delighted to celebrate the completion of the newly developed Native Garden out in front of Dove House.

This was an idea developed by Stephanie and Iain from the St Andrews Village Gardening Team. Historically, the stars of Matariki were also closely tied to planting and harvesting, so we thought returning native plants to the whenua seemed an appropriate way to celebrate Matariki — the stars of the Pleiades cluster signify things connected to our environment and the health and wellbeing of people.

We met together and thanked the team of gardeners, Mike offered a blessing and Lesley recited a poem by Gunilla Norris, a gardener poet. We finished the blessing with a cuppa and some kai. We’re looking forward to seeing our plants bloom, grow and evolve, enjoyed by our native birds!

Matariki is a time to come together and celebrate, acknowledge the past, and look ahead to what the new year will bring. Let us enjoy this time of reflection and remember those in our lives, both here and those who have passed, whom we are grateful for.

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori.

“What I like about volunteering here is meeting

“What I like about volunteering here is meeting lovely customers and how there is a mixture of people you meet… And here in Panmure, it’s like a big family! Volunteering to me is just a part of my life.”

Cheryl has been a volunteer for us for many years at our Panmure store, helping out once a week. She's known to be fun, caring, hardworking, and always goes out of her way to help customers.

Thank you so much for being a part of our Panmure team all these years Cheryl! Your generous effort is greatly appreciated. 😊

"I had retired and I was looking for somewhere to

"I had retired and I was looking for somewhere to go. So, I had friends who had been through Dove Hospice and a friend of my daughter's who was down at the Dove House for a while—she passed away at 34 from cancer. I thought if I was going to volunteer somewhere, it would be for Dove. That was the reason why I started volunteering here. It's such a good cause, so I'm more than happy to come in and do my 4 hours every week. I look forward to being with the team every Tuesday and helping. It's what it's all about."

Our dedicated volunteer, Peter, has been a volunteer for us for 4 years. He is known to be funny and intelligent, with a lot of great stories to share! Thank you Peter for giving your time and effort here at Dove, we're grateful that we were there for your friend's daughter through her journey with cancer.
