Hospice forms partnership for Catwalk Arts 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 Arts and Events Centre on October 6. Warkworth Wellsford Hospice is teaming up with its neighbour, Hibiscus 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 425 9535 or email lesley.ingham@tuihospice.org.nz
