Yesterday was a great day in the life of the Otago Community Hospice and for hospice shop supervisor Jenifer Callanan (left) and hospice community care co-ordinator Bridget McAtamney, pictured outside the group’s new home. The Otago Community Hospice has secured a new home in Oamaru. This week, the hospice used funds raised locally to buy the Anaro building on Thames Highway. Ginny Green, chief executive of the Otago Community Hospice said the purchase came after months of searching for the ‘‘perfect spot’’ to locate all the hospice’s services, as well as its Hospice Shop. The new Hospice Shop would be significantly bigger than the existing store and would be able to accept larger items.
