Hope is the most precious of all gifts. Your commitment will help change lives.

“I was delighted to see such fantastic services on offer! I come here to use the yoga and t’ai chi

classes, and I also use the counselling service.

I take advantage of the massage service too.” Cecily May Guarrera

“I believe that without the incredible support of this organisation and the amazing team of people,

both paid and voluntary (yay for volunteers) – I would not be standing

here today.” Nancy Thompson

Nancy

“I don’t know what I would have done without Margaret Stewart House. Masterton is quite far

away, someone would have had to drive me in to Wellington once a day.”

So What’s Next? We really want you to know how your contri-butions are assisting in the fight against cancer and providing Hope For Life. You will receive supporter newsletters during the year so that you can see the impact your contributions are making, plus regular email updates and surveys to get your feedback. You will of course also receive a tax receipt once a year. Real engagement with you is our goal. So it’s not just about us contacting you. We’d love to get your feedback. So please phone, email, write, or contact us on Facebook at any time. Thank you!

Bob and some of the radiation team at the Wellington Hospital.
