Hospice in the Weald provides care for patients with a terminal illness, and those important to them, in West Kent and Northern East Sussex.

Care is provided across our five Services and is completely free of charge. We are there 24 hours a day to help, support and care for patients with an illness where a cure is no longer possible, and for patients who will at some stage die from their illness (you may hear this referred to as “palliative care”).

At the age of just 44, Chris was diagnosed with a tumour which meant his illness was not treatable. He was referred to Hospice in the Weald in January 2020.
