What is Hospice in the Weald?
Hospice in the Weald is a UK-based charitable hospice providing free specialist palliative care and support to adults, children and their families living with life-limiting or terminal illnesses in West Kent and northern East Sussex. Their multidisciplinary team offers personalised care that includes inpatient hospice support, hospice outreach at home, symptom management, counselling, chaplaincy, bereavement assistance and practical advice - all tailored to the needs of patients and those important to them. Hospice in the Weald focuses on improving quality of life, empowering individuals to make decisions that matter most to them, and supporting families throughout the course of serious illness.
Operating locally across West Kent and northern East Sussex, Hospice in the Weald serves communities in and around Tunbridge Wells, Pembury, Mayfield, Crowhurst, Sevenoaks and other nearby towns. Its services are provided completely free of charge, relying on the generosity of supporters, volunteers and donors to fund specialist care that covers physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs. The charity's work reaches beyond end-of-life care to help anyone affected by a terminal illness, including families and carers, with dedicated resources like advice hubs and community programmes.
Hospice in the Weald Charity Shops
Hospice in the Weald operates a network of charity shops throughout West Kent and East Sussex, with high-street charity shops, toy shops, superstores and furniture stores supporting its fundraising efforts. These shops sell a wide range of high-quality donated second-hand goods - from clothing, accessories, books and homewares to furniture, electricals and designer preloved items - all offered at sensible prices to local shoppers. The varied retail locations across towns such as Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Tenterden and Mayfield help raise vital funds that contribute directly to the hospice's free care services while giving local communities a sustainable way to shop and donate.
