Make all the difference

Whether it’s a regular donation, a Gift in your Will, volunteering, fundraising, or supporting through your business, quality of life for adults living with life-limiting illness and their families can be improved when you turn compassion into action.

Did you know that regular monthly gifts are a lasting way to reassure whānau that their loved ones will receive the highest level of palliative care? This can be completed via direct debit, from your bank account, or through payroll giving. Please note, you may receive a call in the coming weeks from the team at Mercy about this incredibly valuable way of giving.

Memorial Tiles

One of the ways that family and friends choose to remember their loved ones cared for at Mercy is with a beautiful commemorative tile in our Past, Present, and Future Courtyard. Filled with gorgeous ceramics by artist, Bob Steiner, the courtyard is open all year round. For more information, please contact the Fundraising team on 0800 888 474 or [email protected].
