With help from a Harcourts Foundation grant and the whānau of a former patient, we have a new patient hoist and track system in the IPU. We are so grateful for this funding which will help keep patients and staff safe.

Farmers Christmas Campaign

The 2025 Farmers Christmas Campaign raised an amazing $30,372 for Otago Community Hospice and over $800k raised nationally! A HUGE thank you to the amazing staff at both our Oamaru and Dunedin stores – we appreciate your help so very much. We're so proud to be part of such a giving community.

We have the cards from the remembrance tree and will be organizing a ceremony soon. If you would like to be involved please let us know.

The Annual Rotary Christmas ‘Trailer’ Raffle transformed into a ‘Shed’ Raffle this year. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Dunedin South, Mitre 10, The Warehouse, and especially the small army of volunteers who sold tickets. This year we raised $31,790, up from last year. Thanks to everyone’s generous support.  Congratulations to the 2025 winners.
