TimeOut is a not-for-profit charity based in New Zealand that aims to provide holiday home experiences to terminally ill patients and their families. With a growing network of over 150 holiday homes across the country, we offer invaluable moments of relief and shared experiences for those affected by terminal illnesses. Our dedicated team of volunteers, along with our network of charities and care providers, are committed to providing ongoing support and a more positive outlook for families in need.

Every year, over 24,000 people and their families in New Zealand experience terminal illness, which not only brings immense grief but also impacts their precious resource of time. By gifting these families experiences away from home, we give them much-needed opportunities to take a break from it all and spend quality time together. With over 50,000 holiday homes in New Zealand, our mission is to get more kiwi donors on board so that we can lend a hand to those who need it.

Our story began in 2013 when our founder Ronda Amende was diagnosed with a rare cancer and given only 12 months to live. She fought her illness through a three-year battle with chemotherapy, and during this trying time, a kind gesture from a work colleague provided much-needed relief - some time away at a family holiday home. Inspired by this experience, Ronda wanted other families in need to have the same opportunity, and thus TimeOut was born.

Today, we're proud to have over 150 holiday homes on offer from generous kiwis, allowing people in need and their families to create special memories together. Our team, consisting of friends, family, and talented professionals, is dedicated to seeing the TimeOut charity and its mission thrive
