Heart of Kent Hospice

We provide specialist care and support to adults who have a terminal illness as well as their families, friends and carers. Free of charge. 365 days a year.

For more information about Heart of Kent Hospice please visit our website at www.hokh.org We understand that terminal illness turns lives upside-down. We provide specialist care and support for terminally ill adults as well as their families, friends and carers. We help people to live as fully and as well as possible for the rest of their lives and ensure that their final days are comfortable and

peaceful wherever they choose to be. We are a charity, and we depend on voluntary donations for 80% of the cost of delivering our services. It’s only because of your kindness and others like you, that local people can get the help they need. Thank you for supporting Heart of Kent Hospice.

35 years ago, we made a quiet promise - that no one should face the end of life alone. Help us keep it.

We are currently supporting 1,147 local people with a terminal illness either at home, in the hospice or in a care home. By 2040, the number of people aged 65 and over in Kent is expected to rise by a third, which means demand for our services is growing faster than current support can cover.

We rely on the kindness of people like you to make the care we provide possible. Help us mark this moment. Will you consider supporting our anniversary appeal today?

A huge thank you to Martin Kennett, who ran this year's London Marathon for Heart of Kent Hospice - using his own place to do it 💚

Martin has raised an incredible £1,523 (including Gift Aid) for hospice care. Every penny will help us continue providing care and support to patients and families across Kent.

As we celebrate 35 years of hospice care, the support of people like Martin is what makes it all possible.

We're so grateful, Martin. Thank you.

This week we were pleased to welcome our corporate partner, Advo, who spent two days volunteering to help paint our IPU rooms.

Their support has made a real difference, helping us create a more comfortable and welcoming space for patients and families.

As shared by the Advo team:
“Volunteering our time to paint at Heart of Kent Hospice was incredibly meaningful and something the team genuinely enjoyed. It reminded us of the importance of giving back and supporting spaces that bring comfort, dignity, and care to so many. We’re proud to have played a small part in making a difference.”

A huge thank you to everyone involved for your time, energy, and commitment - it truly means a lot to us and those we care for!
