Hospice in the Weald was founded in 1980 as a small home-care service in West Kent, born out of local community effort to support people with life-limiting illnesses.

Over the decades it has grown from those humble beginnings into a vital palliative care charity serving West Kent and northern East Sussex, expanding its services to include an in-patient ward, day services, outreach and counselling support, all free of charge, as well as innovative new provisions such as children’s care and the Cottage Hospice at Five Ashes.

Today, more than 40 years on, Hospice in the Weald continues to provide compassionate, personalised care to patients and their loved ones, celebrating life and offering dignity at the end of life for thousands in the local community.
