North Haven Hospice is really excited to be lifting its presence in Mangawhai with a new charity North Haven Hospice Shop. Mangawhai, Mangawhai Heads, Langs Beach, Kaiwaka and Maungaturoto are all within the wider service area for the local hospice and has long been supported by the generous communities of Whangārei and Waipu through their charity shops.

North Haven Hospice already provides care for people in these communities every day, supporting their families, whānau and carers through some very challenging times.

“Our nurses are out in the community every day as we have approximately 180 people we support at any one time. These are people with a life-limiting or terminal illness, not just cancer patients and can be any age,” says Helen Blaxland, CEO. “We’re just delighted to have found premises for a small charity shop to operate in the Moir St shopping area and hope to be able to tell our story of who we are and what we do even more.”

The shop, due to be opened in mid-December, will take donated second-hand goods and from their sale, turn this into first class care.

North Haven Hospice has two other charity shops, one in central Whangārei and another in Waipu. Initially stocked with items donated to the central shops, North Haven Hospice hopes the Mangawhai and wider community will contribute locally as well.
