By supporting the ‘Sponsor a Nurse’ campaign with a one-off donation or monthly gift, you can help the Hospice to continue providing specialist nursing care to people with a terminal illness and their families living in Maidstone, Aylesford, Tonbridge & Malling and surrounding areas.
Heart of Kent Hospice is currently caring for over 1,000 patients (case load) and the charity relies on donations and fundraising to deliver its care and support to patients and their families.
Lara, who is a Senior Registered Nurse at the Inpatient Unit at Heart of Kent Hospice said: “Throughout my career as a nurse, I’ve got to know so many unique, special people and their families – and always at a time which is profoundly significant for them. Just for a while, I’ve been privileged to be part of their lives. I know my colleagues will agree when I say it’s a challenging job, but incredibly rewarding.”

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 32 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 1,800 patients and their families in their own homes or at our Aylesford-based Hospice. Our charity needs to raise £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.
