The difference we make

Proceeds from the 11th Chip in for Mary Potter Golf Day, will once again support Mary Potter Hospice. Since 2012, over $1m has been raised to upgrade facilities, purchase equipment, and provide funding for programs.

The ninth and tenth Golf Days supported the refurbishment of the Mary Potter Hospice patient rooms. All fifteen patient rooms in the Hospice have been freshly refurbished, making them more comfortable and better suited to meet the needs of patients and families

The eighth golf day is supporting patient care in the Mary Potter Hospice and a regional project in Port Lincoln.

The seventh Golf Day supported a special new role that will improve support for patients who need palliative care and their families. The first ever Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner role has been created at Calvary and Mary Potter Hospice. This role brings a new level of care and understanding in helping patients and their families to focus on quality of life to make the most of every day.

The sixth Golf Day raised a record amount and funded a much needed lounge for families of palliative patients to be built at Ardrossan Community Hospital. The remaining funds continue to provide care in the Mary Potter Hospice.

The  Golf Day supported a project at the Keith & District Hospital and continued to fund care to patients and families in the Mary Potter Hospice. The Keith & District Hospital upgrade saw rooms fitted out for palliative care and support for families. This included a complete refurbishment of existing spaces in the hospital with upgrades to two patient rooms, lounge and kitchenette, access to an outdoor area, and a room for family members to stay overnight.

The funds raised transformed the patient rooms in the Mary Potter Hospice into beautiful and improved spaces for end of life care. Along with the patients, families spend long days and often nights in the rooms and the refurbishment means that now everyone can enjoy the best possible space together.

The funds raised transformed a desolate area into a beautiful garden and provided new equipment and painting in the Hospice.

The event made possible new visitor chairs for every room in the Hospice along with a completely upgraded communal family kitchen in the heart of the Hospice.

All of the money raised was directed towards the Cancer Ward upgrade.
