Heart of Kent Hospice celebrated ‘Hospice Care Week’ by running their own Thank-a-thon between 7-13 October. Heart of Kent Hospice colleagues and volunteers are personally contacting as many supporters as possible with phone calls, emails, postcards and visits to local businesses to say a big ‘thank you’ for all the wonderful support received.
Every donation, big or small, is deeply appreciated by the Hospice and Chief Executive Rachel Street said:
“I am tremendously grateful to everyone who has generously given their time, money, experience, and expertise to the Hospice.
Together, all the wonderful supporters have and continue to play an instrumental role in shaping Heart of Kent Hospice into what it is today. All the generous contributions received are felt every day as we welcome people who need our care and support.
Whether your contribution was big or small, thank you for your wonderful gift of support.”

About Heart of Kent Hospice
Heart of Kent Hospice has been providing free, compassionate, end-of-life care to people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones in Maidstone, Aylesford, Tonbridge and Malling and the surrounding towns and villages for the past 33 years.
The Hospice has built an excellent reputation within the local community for the quality of its care, which has been further endorsed by the Care Quality Commission who awarded us with an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ following an inspection in February 2017.
Our vision is for everyone living with a terminal illness in our community to achieve the best quality of life. We are committed to achieving this by enabling them to live in comfort, with independence and dignity to the end of their lives, and to support those closest to them.
Last year the Hospice cared for over 2,000 patients and their families in their own homes or at our Aylesford-based Hospice. Our charity needs to raise £6.6 million to deliver all the Hospices services, and we depend heavily on our loyal community of supporters, whose generous donations and fundraising activities raise money for us every year.
