ellenor is the only charity in Kent to provide hospice care for people of all ages. Our care includes pain and symptom relief, palliative care, end of life care, respite, bereavement support and emotional and spiritual care.

Story

Sadly, as you may have seen in the press, we became victims of theft earlier this week after it was discovered that the catalytic converters on two of our specialist patient transport minibuses had been stolen overnight from our hospice building in Gravesend. 

In addition to the financial impact of the crime, the missing parts have meant the minibuses are unfit for purpose until they can be repaired, which has meant a number of patients have been unable to access our care services.  Volunteer drivers use the vehicles to collect patients in the community who may be frail or have mobility problems and play an essential role in getting them to where they receive our specialist care and support.    

We have been completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from our community, many of whom have asked how they can make a donation to ellenor so we can continue to provide all our hospice services to local families facing terminal illness. In response to all the many messages and phone calls we have set up this dedicated page.  All the donations we receive will go towards the costs of all our services, to help families who are facing the most difficult of times, be fully supported. 

From all of us at ellenor, thank you so very much.
