Hands Up for Hospice 2026
Hands Up for Hospice is fast approaching, and our community is already starting to come together in incredible ways.
We are proud to share that the Yondi Foundation has come on board as the naming rights sponsor for the campaign marking a significant and meaningful partnership grounded in a shared commitment to community care.
With Yondi Foundation’s support as Naming Rights Sponsor, the 2026 campaign is set to build even greater momentum and with a funding shortfall of around $12,300 a day, this funding is vital.
If you’ve been thinking about how you might get involved, here are two meaningful (and very different!) ways to put your Hands Up for Hospice:
💪 HEAVE FOR HOSPICE
Gather your team and get ready to pull together for a purpose.
The Breeze Heave for Hospice is one of the most energetic and uplifting moments of the campaign – bringing together businesses, community groups and friends for a bit of friendly competition.
It’s about:
• Team spirit
• Community pride
• Raising vital funds
• Having a great time doing it
Whether you’re competitive or just in it for the laughs, it’s an experience you won’t forget.
With 15 teams registered already – spaces are limited!
🫖 HIGH TEA FOR HOSPICE
Prefer something a little more relaxed?
High Tea for Hospice is about gathering – sharing food, stories, and time together.
Host a High Tea with:
• Friends
• Family
• Colleagues
• Your wider community
It can be simple or special – what matters is the connection.
Many people choose to use their High Tea as a moment to remember or honour someone important to them, while supporting Hospice care for others.
We also have High Tea kits available to hire – get in touch for more info today.
