The Cancer Society's Lions Lodge
The new Cancer Society's Lions Lodge
The new Cancer Society's Lions Lodge opened in February 2011. The new purpose-built facility means the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society is able to provide accommodation, meals and support to people to have to travel long distances for treatment at the Waikato Regional Cancer Centre. The lodge also allows the Cancer Society to provide an increase in support services and health promotion activities.
The new lodge has kept all the best features of the previous one, while incorporating great new facilities based on residents' feedback. The old Lodge has served its purpose wonderfully since 1971 and we have worked hard to find out what our residents enjoyed most about the Lodge and what they wanted added or changed to make sure we included the best features at the new site.

How can you help?
The extensive fundraising campaign for the new Cancer Society's Lions Lodge continues. The need for the new facility was anticipated, so the Cancer Society was able to cover purchase of the site and some of the building costs; however, we need to raise $5 million to cover additional costs. Visit our Support Us page to see how you can help.
Waikato/Bay of Plenty gratefully acknowledge the support of these organisations:
