East Rand Palliative Care

East Rand Palliative Care Welcome to East Rand Palliative Care! For enquiries, contact us at 011 422 1531 or email [email protected].

Formerly known as Hospice East Rand, our new name reflects the full scope of care we provide—supporting patients and families from diagnosis, through treatment, and beyond. While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: to provide compassionate, holistic palliative care to those facing life-threatening illnesses. Stay connected with us here for updates, support services, fundraising initiatives, and ways you can help make a difference.

💛 Same people, same care—just a new name.

Every donation makes a difference, but only if we can sell it.

Our charity shops help fund patient care and support services throughout our community. Unfortunately, items that are broken, heavily damaged, stained, incomplete, or no longer usable cannot be sold. Instead, they cost our organisation money to dispose of.

Before donating, please ask yourself: "Would I buy this myself?"

If the answer is no, it may not be suitable for donation.

We are incredibly grateful for every donation we receive and for the support of our community. By donating quality, reusable items, you help us turn unwanted goods into vital funds for our patients and their families.

Thank you, Rynfield Primary School, for including East Rand Palliative Care in this meaningful initiative.

By collecting plastic bottle caps, your school community has turned everyday recycling into practical support for people who need it most. The wheelchairs received will help bring comfort, dignity and mobility to patients in our care.

We are grateful to Rynfield Primary School, Plastic Bubbles, the learners, families and everyone who made this possible. Small actions really can make a life-changing difference.

“Good care doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the people at ERPC decide it matters.”

These are the words shared with us by the family of Ian Campbell Goodchild-Brown following his passing, and they are a powerful reminder of why compassionate palliative care matters.

“You gave us time, you gave us patience and you gave us answers when we were out of questions. You let Ian be Ian and not just a patient. You gave him dignity when he was done fighting.”

At East Rand Palliative Care, every patient is more than a diagnosis. Every family matters. We are honoured to walk alongside patients and loved ones through some of life’s most difficult moments with care, dignity, and support.

Thank you to Ian’s family for allowing us to share their heartfelt words with our community.

Twenty futures. One opportunity.

We were honoured to welcome representatives from FEM to meet the 2026/2027 intake of our Occupational Certificate: Home Based Personal Care Worker (NQF Level 3) programme.

The 11-month course commenced on 28 April with 20 dedicated students who are taking the first steps towards a career in caregiving and community support.

This opportunity is made possible through the generous funding provided by FEM. Their investment goes beyond education. It creates pathways to employment, strengthens caregiving skills within our communities, and helps ensure that more people have access to compassionate care when they need it most.

Thank you, FEM, for believing in the power of education and for helping us equip the next generation of care workers.

We were delighted to be part of the grand opening celebrations at Shoprite Van Dyk Park, where we had the opportunity to showcase a selection of items from our Van Dyk Park Charity Shop.

Together with Shoprite and Radio 5, we spent the day meeting members of our community, sharing information about our services, and raising funds through the sale of donated goods. Every purchase made helps support our patients and their families.

Thank you to Shoprite Van Dyk Park for including us in this special occasion and to everyone who stopped by to support our cause. We enjoyed connecting with our community and being part of such a memorable day.

Today, our team swapped their usual shoes for slippers in support of Slipper Day, a fun initiative that helps raise awareness and funds for children living with life-threatening illnesses.

While our slippers may have looked a little different, our commitment to caring for our community remained the same.

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day a little brighter. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one step at a time.

“Top notch care and constant support!” Odette Deale, daughter of the late Mr NA van Deventer, shared this heartfelt message about her family’s experience with East Rand Palliative Care:

“Sr. Lindiwe was absolutely stunning. Careful, gentle, and kept us informed continually. The care was top notch. The team was always supportive and answered all my questions with such patience.”

Thank you, Odette, for allowing us to support you and your family during this time.

In 1988, fundraising became a community affair as Hospice East Rand (now East Rand Palliative Care) brought Benoni together through a series of memorable events.

The inaugural Hospice "Street Mile" Race, sponsored by the Prime Grill Restaurant and organised by the Benoni Harriers Athletic Club, saw top East Rand athletes race down Prince's Avenue, finishing in front of Plaza Square. Preceded by drum majorettes and school bands parading through the streets, it was a day of fun, fitness and community spirit, with the Mayor of Benoni, Clr Alan Barrable, handing over the prizes.

That same year, a Race Day at Gosforth Park, held in partnership with Johannesburg Hospice, raised an incredible R40 000, while the "Fun Raisers" competition challenged young volunteers aged 17 to 25 to raise funds in creative ways. Avril Pearson and Alan Ogilvie were jointly crowned top fundraisers, and 14-year-old Nicolette Nel together with 9-year-old Raine Collins remarkably raised R1 600 between them.

These events were more than fundraisers. They were the community rallying around hospice care, a tradition that continues to this day.

"Sister Barbara was amazing. A true angel — so kind and compassionate."

When Tracey Broodryk’s mother, Ingrid, became a patient at East Rand Palliative Care, their family was met with kindness, compassion, and expert guidance from the very first call.

“We were taught how to manage Mom’s condition at home. Every person we dealt with treated us with such kindness and compassion. The entire team are truly angels on earth.”

Our services go beyond clinical support. We walk alongside families, providing comfort, knowledge, and emotional strength. If someone you love is facing a life-threatening illness, we’re here for you too.
