Paul Halsey Fund

Leigh Halsey is raising money for Duchess Of Kent House Charity
In memory of Paul Halsey
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Duchess of Kent House (hospice) has 16 in-patient beds, day therapy facilities (3 days a week), out-patients and a Family Support Service (bereavement), providing palliative (hospice) care for the population of west and central Berkshire. In the last 15 years over 12,000 patients have been treated and cared-for by a team of 50 (full-time equivalent) consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, admin & site staff, etc. This care continues after death for those relatives who wish it through the FSS. All care is provided free of charge, according to need. As with all parts of the National Health Service there is never enough money to pay for all aspects of what we technically call ‘specialist palliative care’. This is where the independent charity Duchess of Kent House Trust comes in. Since 2002, the Duchess of Kent House Trust (independent charity) has raised £1,500,000 for the unit to pay for the Family Support Service, 2 in-patient beds otherwise not available, the dietician, chaplaincy, psychologist, aromatherapist, and equipment. Please support this local charity caring for local patients and their families. Thank you very much.

Story

<p>On Thursday 6th January Paul Halsey passed away peacefully at the Royal Berkshire Hospital after bravely fighting MSA ( Multiple System Atrophy). Paul was a loving Husband, dad, son, brother and friend and touched many peoples lives. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Duchess of Kent House is an amazing facility which provides great care and support for those who are suffering with various illnesses. My dad used to go twice a week and even though he wouldnt admit it, he did enjoy the time he spent there. This is why we would like to support the great work they do and much of the work is done by volunteers who give up their own time to help others.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
