Upcoming community events

A fundraising event for Mary Potter Hospice to help renovate the Kāpiti Community Base. All funds raised from this event will stay in Kāpiti. You’ll savour a delicious three course plated dinner by Relish Cafe and Catering, accompanied by award winning Spy Valley wines and beer from Double Vision Brewery. Enjoy entertainment from some of Kāpiti's up and coming musical talent and be blown away by Stew Darling’s incredible stories (from https://unstoppableforce.co.nz/), all whilst supporting Mary Potter Hospice to renovate the Kāpiti community facilities. In addition, you will have a chance to bid on a collection of exciting auction items. Mary Potter Hospice built the Kāpiti community base in 1996 with the support of the local community who raised over $350,000 for the project. The building is on land leased from Health NZ. 30 years later the building is no longer fit for purpose. Patient numbers have increased significantly (the team cares for around 200 patients a year) and the team of staff and volunteers who are based in the building has grown to the point where some staff have been accommodated in a temporary porta cabin, and there are no ‘hot desk’ facilities for staff visiting from other teams. The room used for day activities and other events for patients and their families is a thoroughfare needed by staff to access offices. Heating and other systems are antiquated, and bathrooms lack privacy. The entire fit out is no longer of the standard we want to be able to offer patients, families, staff and visitors.
