We have an exciting opportunity to build a new home for Cranford that will meet the needs of the people of Hawke’s Bay, both now and in the future.
Cranford Hospice supports 200 people living with palliative care needs each day, in their own home, over the phone, or in our in-patient unit – from Mahia in the North to Takapau in the South. By as early as 2025, we will need to support another 500 Hawke’s Bay patients and their families each year. With the support of our community, we have an opportunity to build a new home that will include more beds, be better for patients and whānau and provide a purpose-built space to deliver our holistic model of care. We’ve been humbled by early support from key supporters and trusts. However, we now need the whole community to get behind us and help finish what we’ve started.
Our urgent need
Cranford Hospice is facing a challenge. Our current building based at Knight Street, Hastings, is no longer fit-for-purpose due to its age and design, and the expanding need for palliative care services in Hawke’s Bay. By as early as 2025, we will need to support another 500 Hawke’s Bay patients and their families each year.
We’re already feeling the impact of this unprecedented population growth and aging in our community.
How is it funded?
We thank all the supporters who have come on board to help build the new home for Cranford. However, we now need the whole community to get behind us and help finish what we’ve started.
Your support is crucial for the success of this urgent project. Join us by donating today to help build your hospice.
“Creating a new home for Cranford is an opportunity for our generation to build an incredible community asset for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren”.
Chris Tremain, Cranford Hospice Foundation Chairman
