The New West Hospice Society (NWHS), founded in 2016, is dedicated to building a grassroots hospice initiative from the community level up, based on the Compassionate City model. The overarching mission of the NWHS is to provide services and to facilitate processes for those in New Westminster experiencing end-of-life and bereavement. They envision a city in which dying, death and bereavement are normalized and where community bonds enable each other to live to their fullest in their communities during illness and dying, and through bereavement.
We were happy to donate 2 laptops to this amazing society. Over the last two years, the society has been operated by volunteers. To continue moving forward with their charter, two full-time employees have been hired; therefore a need for computer hardware was identified.
