At its heart, Pilgrims is dedicated to providing skilled and compassionate care, free of charge, to people living with an incurable illness in east Kent. Their vision is that people with a life-limiting illness are supported and empowered to live well in mind & body, making the most of the time they have. They care for over 2,500 patients a year, at their 3 inpatient units in Canterbury, Thanet & Ashford, their therapy centres, or in patients’ own homes. With 80% of their funding being voluntary contributions, your support cannot be overstated. 
My husband, Mat's mum was looked after at the Ashford hospice in her last days of her life when she contracted COVID in January 2021. Also my father's wife was given end of lift care there when she had breast cancer. It is an amazing service and needs our support now more than ever.
