A Mary Potter Hospice shop at McMillan Court in Newlands, Wellington. Everything sold here supports the hospice's palliative care, which the hospice says is free to patients in local communities. The website says about half of the $16 million a year the hospice needs comes from retail sales, donations, grants and bequests.
The hospice has shops in Te Aro, Kelburn, Karori, Miramar, Newlands, Paraparaumu, Porirua, Tawa and Thorndon. Donated goods can be collected free by booking through the website. The hospice is a registered charity and an Inland Revenue-approved donee organisation, so donations can be claimed for tax purposes.
Retail enquiries go to 04 237 2300, or to retail.support@marypotter.org.nz. The website says the retail team can be contacted Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.
The shop is at 3 McMillan Court, Newlands, Wellington. Our pick in Newlands for a secondhand find that also helps local palliative care.
