From 3 to 10 May, we celebrate Hospice Week with this year’s theme: “Passion for Compassion.” This week is dedicated to raising awareness about the invaluable role hospice care plays in our communities and honouring the compassionate care that hospice workers provide to patients and their families.
Hospice care is not just about the end of life. It’s about living fully, with dignity and comfort. In fact, 98% of hospice care takes place in patients’ homes, ensuring that individuals receive the support they need in a familiar and loving environment, regardless of age, race, or financial means.
Throughout Hospice Week, hospices across the country will be advocating for palliative care as a way of life, emphasising its importance in improving the quality of life for those facing life-limiting illnesses. Various activities will take place to highlight these essential services, fostering understanding and support within our communities.
This year, we are excited to launch the Wall of Compassion, a special space for our community to share their stories, words of kindness, and messages of support. Stellenbosch Hospice invites you to be part of this meaningful initiative. Visit us during Hospice Week, leave your message, and help us build a community rooted in care and compassion.
In addition to the Wall of Compassion, we invite you to support our Endless Care Fundraising Campaign by pledging a monthly donation. Your support ensures we can continue providing compassionate care to those who need it most. Every donation counts, please pledge today and make a lasting difference.
At Stellenbosch Hospice, we believe that everyone deserves to walk their journey with dignity, care, and love. Join us this special week, whether by sharing on the Wall of Compassion, learning about hospice care, or supporting our mission through your donations.
Together, let’s keep the passion for compassion alive.
