The hospice provides 24/7 end-of-life care and is set in three acres of gardens which are a beautiful place for guests and relatives, visitors, hospice staff and volunteers to sit and reflect in one of the many seating areas or in the Japanese Tea House. With the support of local communities, the
hospice continues to grow. Fundraising through the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice Op Shops, general donations and other activities generate 80% of budget, with the remaining percentage met from the State Government Service Agreement. Chair of KRCH Carol Raye says, “We are always so grateful to our communities for their support and thank Noosa Council for the Community Grant Program and the support from Councillors and staff.” For more information on Katie Rose Cottage visit www.katierosecottage.org.au.
