McDonald said that as a registered non-governmental organisation, they have to do their own fundraising.
“We rely on the goodwill and donations from kind people and companies to be able to do what we do,” he said.
The hospice is always looking for volunteers to assist with fundraising efforts or at their hospice shops.

Alternatively, donations of unwanted, usable items can be dropped off at their charity shop at 400 Andrew Zondo Road, above Vikings Fish and Chips.
