His Royal Highness also heard about the breadth of care the Hospice offers throughout the community, meeting staff and volunteers from services including the inpatient ward, hospice outreach, therapies, counselling, chaplaincy and spiritual support, retail and fundraising. The Duke also visited some of the Hospice’s beautiful gardens and learnt about the therapeutic benefits they bring for all.
The Duke also saw the Hospice’s refurbishment plans that are underway to transform all patient areas, including the inpatient ward, Living Well and reception areas. Meeting staff, architects and contractors involved in the project, The Duke was delighted to hear about the Hospice’s inclusive approach to the design and planning process, which included patients, volunteers, and staff in the decision-making process alongside the professional design team.
Nick Farthing, Hospice in the Weald Chief Executive said: “It was a privilege to welcome The Duke of Gloucester, and of course the Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Lady Colgrain to our Hospice in Pembury. Patients, carers, staff and volunteers alike enjoyed chatting to The Duke, who showed great interest in the Hospice’s work. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the exceptional care, compassion, and support that we provide to our patients, loved ones and community every day.”
Hospice in the Weald provides free care and support for those facing life-limiting and life-threatening conditions in west Kent and East Sussex.
