Pilgrims proud to join hospices across England, Scotland and Wales to protect the future of hospice care

We’re proud to announce the launch of the “This is Hospice Care” campaign, a ground breaking collaboration between 143 hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales, brought together by Hospice UK.

It’s finality and uncertainty, brave faces and shedding tears. It’s short days and long nights. Living for now with the weight of tomorrow.

But it’s also love and life and celebration. It’s care at home, and in a hospice, care for those dying and for those around them. It’s going the extra mile, doing away with convention and remembering what really matters. It’s easing pain and bringing comfort, cherishing memories and creating new ones. Part of the community, part of our story, part of us.

It’s allowing anyone, anywhere, to embrace the life we have left.

This is the legacy of hospice care. But we need it to be your legacy too.

Just as this incredible support would not exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care would not exist without you. A gift in your Will helps ensure care at the end of life is here for everyone who needs it, both now and in the future. It’s ours to protect.

Help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.

Hospices like ours are at the very heart of communities, offering compassionate care and support when we need it most. For many of us, a hospice will touch our lives, whether for ourselves, a loved one, or a friend, providing comfort, dignity, and expert care through life’s most challenging times.

But just as this incredible support wouldn’t exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care wouldn’t exist without you.

We rely heavily on charitable donations to keep our doors open.

That’s why we’ve come together to shine a light on the essential role hospices play in our communities and protect our futures.

We’re asking everyone to consider leaving a gift in their Will to Pilgrims Hospices. By doing so, you can help us continue to provide this vital care, ensuring that everyone has the support they need for generations to come.

Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.

Each year, Pilgrims Hospices care for thousands of people across east Kent, with services provided from its three hospice sites in Ashford, Canterbury, and Thanet, as well as in patients’ own homes. It costs over £17.2 million annually to run these services, much of which comes from the generous support of the local community.
