Hospice Tairāwhiti says it is excited about the opportunity to raise funds to help keep hospice services free of charge in the community with its annual raffle.
“Mitre 10 Gisborne have once again donated a 7x4 Jobmate Trailer and $500 of product with a total value $2249,” a Hospice spokeswoman
Residents say there is more to the story than Gisborne's economic ranking suggests.
