Annual Report 2022/23
Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou ka ora ai te iwi
–with your basket and my basket, the people will thrive.
Our cover image represents a Māori whakatauki (proverb) that speaks to sharing of resources and knowledge to ensure the wellbeing of all people involved.
I started my role as CEO mid-January, just four weeks before cyclone Gabrielle struck our region. Reflecting on the months since then, it is inspiring to see the resilience of the Cranford Hospice community. Like many, our staff found it extremely difficult to commute to Napier to continue providing the essential services that Cranford is known for. They did however persist (literally through flood waters) until every patient was contacted. Our team remained focused on walking alongside our patients, despite the circumstances.
The title of our annual report for 2022/23 comes from a Māori whakatauki (proverb) that speaks to sharing of resources and knowledge, to ensure the wellbeing of all people involved. With the impact of the cyclone Gabrielle on our region, I believe Cranford has imbued this proverb, working hard to ensure that all our community is cared for.
