Jess's Story

We are lucky to have incredible individuals working at the hospice, who are deeply committed to providing compassionate care to those with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. Among these remarkable individuals is Jess, whose journey with us has been nothing short of inspiring. Here, she tells her story.

I have been working at the Hospice for about 10 months, in the new service for children and young people which launched at the beginning of this year. We provide support to children, young people and their families by offering in-home care, clinical support and fun activities that bring smiles to their faces.

Hospice in the Weald is a charity very close to my heart, having cared for my Dad Mark during his final years of life.

Since my Dad became unwell, I have raised money for the Hospice by skydiving, bake sales and running the London Marathon in 2021. It is a charity that will always have my support, I started working at the Hospice about one month after participating in Hospice Run, which was another way of raising awareness for the amazing work being done here.
