Hospices combine for show

Hospice’s popular wearable arts competition is spreading its wings this year with a new partnership and a new venue. Catwalk Arts will be staged at the Orewa College Arts and Events Centre on October 6.

Hibiscus Hospice is teaming up with its neighbour, Warkworth Wellsford Hospice, to run the event as part of the newly-formed Northern Hospice Alliance.

The two hospices will combine resources with the aim of reaching a wider audience and raising more funds for palliative care services in both communities. The competition is for all ages and includes categories for individuals and businesses or community groups, with cash prizes ranging from $200 to $1000.

Designers interested in taking part can contact Warkworth Wellsford Hospice Fundraising Coordinator Lesley Ingham on 09 425 9535 or email lesley.ingham@tuihospice.org.nz
