About our charity
:
Duchess Of Kent House Charity
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.

| Our personal message: |
“Runner, Mother, Lawyer”
“ Come on give me some sponsorship – you know that 10km is a long way for a lass like me to race around – remember that a third of us will suffer from cancer in our lives and if you end up needing palliative care to help you with pain, make you comfortable or God forbid you and your family need to be cared for and counselled at the end of your life, then the Duchess of Kent House is where it will happen if you live anywhere near Reading. Every pound you give matters”. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Duchess Of Kent House Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
