Waipuna for Tomorrow bequest programme was introduced by the Foundation Board in 2017 in recognition of the growing need for increased community support to ensure sufficient future funding.
Wills Month.
Each September, Waipuna Hospice teams up with local legal firms to provide a free basic will or an update to your existing will. While this offer has now closed for 2024, we invite you to check back in August 2025 for more information on this valuable service. Otherwise please call us on 07 282 8568 to register your interest early.
Waipuna for Tomorrow Bequest Programme.
The campaign was launched to raise awareness of the very real need for the community to support hospice services not only for today, but for tomorrow.
The Foundation board is aware contributions from the community are needed to ensure Hospice services are there when the need is – and indications are one in three people in the greater Tauranga community will need specialist end-of-life hospice care.
Individuals are urged to consider making a provision in their wills, bequeathing funds and assets, or making one-off or multi-year financial gifts to the Foundation during their lifetime.
Waipuna Hospice is reliant on the goodwill of the community today to protect the provision of free Hospice services for tomorrow.

“The Foundation plays a critical part in ensuring the long term sustainability of hospice services to the Western Bay of Plenty. One in three people will need end of life care and as hospice does not receive full government funding it relies on the generosity of the local community. Waipuna Hospice is a special place and provides a unique, highly specialised service. I encourage you to consider how you can play a part in keeping hospice services available, and hopefully free, for generations to come.”
– Jon Murie, Trustee of Waipuna Hospice Foundation.
