About Us
Donor Club
ImageThe never ending call for Hospice care for the terminally ill requires an ever increasing income. We now have 28 full time staff and some 200 volunteers caring for in excess of 300 patients on a monthly basis. We are therefore appealing to members of our community to assist Hospice by joining our Hospice Donor Club which involves making monthly donations in multiples of R50 (per unit).
