Fundraising for Duchess Of Kent House Charity

Story

We are all hoping for as much support as possible for our CBEBP anniversary walk in memory of Mark Thatcher, our former Managing Director.

The walk is due to take place on Wednesday 28th October 2009 at the Roman Ruins in Silchester, Hampshire.

Last years walk was a huge success, we are hoping to have as many walkers join us again as possible. The more money we can raise for the Duchess of Kent the better. We are sure it will be another great day.

It would be fantastic if we could reach our £10,000 target!!

Money raised from last years walk, the Christmas Bazaar, competitions at the annual Young Chef event, the dress down days, staff cake sales, wine tasting, Grand National Sweepstake, skittles evening, guess the weight of Emma's Baby and not to forget Kelly and Will's 10k run in London have helped us raise over £5500. Come on everyone help us SMASH THE £10,000!!!

Thank you to all the walkers and sponsors over the past year, WE REALLY REALLY APPREICIATE IT.

Hope to see you on 28th October.

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.
