About us
Hands Up for Hospice
Hands Up for Hospice, championed by sponsor NBS in 2024, is a bi-annual campaign for Nelson Tasman Hospice, a local charity that provides free specialist palliative care throughout the Nelson Tasman region. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the impact of our work in the community, to bring the community together and celebrate their loved ones and to raise much needed funds to ensure that we can continue to provide our services. As a charity we receive around 52% of our funding from Te Whatu Ora Nelson Marlborough.
By putting your hands up to support us this May you can make a difference today.
Your impact
Your involvement in Hands Up for Hospice helps Nelson Tasman Hospice care for locals with Nelson Tasman Hospice provides specialist palliative care services for people of all ages with life-limiting illnesses, supporting them, their whānau and carers, through illness, death and bereavement. We aim to help patients to live well until they die.
Our team
We work as a team, trained in a variety of disciplines such as physiotherapists, doctors, counsellors, nurses and social workers. We know that people with life-limiting illnesses need a holistic approach to their care, not only focusing on physical symptoms but also supporting patients and their whānau with the social, emotional, and spiritual impact of their illness.
Your community
We care for people in the places they call home. The level of care we provide is based on the needs of the patient and whānau. Our care is available throughout the Nelson Tasman region and is provided in the home, in aged-care facilities, in hospitals, and in our purpose-built Specialist Palliative Care Unit (SPCU).
