You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.
Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern Hospice movement 1918 – 2005
❤️Over the years, our good friends at Dilmah have donated almost 10 million tea bags to hospices across the country - that's a lot of tea!
Right now, Dilmah is also donating 50c from selected packs of their beautiful English Breakfast & Earl Grey range to Hospice NZ to help us raise awareness of hospice services. Look out for the specially marked packs in your local supermarket - and do try it! Thank you, Dilmah Tea. ❤️
New Zealanders are making a life changing decision when they vote in the End of Life Choice Act referendum in this year's general election. It's important to be clear - your vote is not about the concept of euthanasia. Your vote is on this Act specifically. Is this the best possible legislation to keep people safe?
Here are the concerns that Hospice New Zealand has about the proposed legislation:

No matter the outcome of the upcoming referendum, it's important to know that hospice will continue to support people regardless of their desire for euthanasia. This is a complex, emotional and challenging topic and we acknowledge the range of individual opinions that exist.

“It’s actually a bit of a cliché, but it is a question of life and death. But it’s really complex, and I don’t think people have kind of grasped that.”
