Tony manages our Trade Me account which sells items on behalf of Lake Taupo Hospice. Madison volunteered to stick on the stamps before heading off to the post shop (with granddad in tow) to make yet another hospice Trade Me user a very happy purchaser. There is no word though on whether her granddad brought her an ice cream for her efforts!

This vehicle continues a long tradition of supporting Lake Taupo Hospice by the group, who have regularly donated vehicles over the years for the community nursing and family support teams to use.
As Lake Taupo Hospice CEO Jeff Bennett says "Running a vehicle fleet is crucial to the work we do. As a community based hospice focussed on enabling patients to stay in their own homes our staff travel thousands of kilometres each year visiting patients throughout our area, therefore anything we can do to reduce this cost is truly beneficial. As we are dependent on fundraising and sponsorship from the local community in order to continue our work, 'no cost' options such as this electric car are of enormous benefit. By reducing our daily running expenses it means that we can target even more of every dollar raised towards developing new services for our patients and their families".
The car provides great travel distances on a single charge, plus has plenty of boot and car space to accommodate all of the community nurses gear plus any specialist equipment that needs to be delivered to the patient, and in the future Lake Taupo Hospice hopes to convert all its fleet to economical electric vehicles such as these.
'Hospice Heroes' like Central Motor Group represent businesses that support hospice through donations of services, skills and equipment for which they would otherwise have to pay and are integral to ensuring the success of hospice services to our community.
