Calves for Hospice

Give a calf. Give comfort. Give Hospice.

For more than 30 years, Te Kahu Pairuri Hospice Taranaki has supported people with life-limiting conditions to live with dignity, comfort, and compassion. Care is provided wherever it’s needed — at our inpatient unit, in people’s homes, or another place of their choosing — and it’s always free of charge.

But we can’t do it alone.

Why Your Support Matters

Each year, we care for hundreds of patients and their whānau — but only 52% of our funding comes from Health NZ. The rest comes from people like you.

Your support through Calves for Hospice helps us bridge the gap, ensuring that our community continues to receive specialist care, day and night.

Every calf — or its value — helps us be there for families when they need it most.
