Together for Hospice – Festive Decorating
Hospice Waikato is more than a healthcare service – it is a place of comfort, dignity, and compassion for people facing life-limiting illnesses, and a source of strength for their whānau during some of life’s most difficult moments. The holiday season can be especially challenging, but it also offers an opportunity to bring light, warmth, and connection into the Hospice community.

This team volunteering opportunity invites your group to come together and help transform Hospice Waikato into a festive, welcoming space. By hanging decorations, adding seasonal touches, and creating an uplifting atmosphere, your team will be helping to ease some of the emotional weight families may feel at this time of year.

Every ornament, garland, and twinkling light is not just a decoration – it’s a gesture of care. It reminds clients and families that their community is standing with them, celebrating the moments that matter, and ensuring the Hospice feels like a home filled with aroha and togetherness.

As a team, you’ll not only build bonds through shared action, but also make a meaningful difference for people who truly need a lift during the festive season.

Requirements:
  • Be creative and ready to have fun while spreading festive cheer.
  • A couple of people comfortable using a step ladder for high decorations.
  • Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes suitable for moving around.
  • Be respectful and mindful of clients, whānau, and staff.
  • Work well as a team and enjoy bringing joy, warmth, and togetherness to the Hospice environment.
  • Bring enthusiasm and a positive attitude — every decoration helps brighten someone’s day.
