Pilgrims Hospices is a charity providing specialist palliative care free of charge to people in east Kent.

We care for people with illnesses that can not be cured including cancer, heart failure, respiratory conditions and neurological diseases. Care is provided from the three sites in Canterbury, Ashford and Thanet, in patients' homes and via community programmes. Support is also extended to families and carers.

To keep delivering care to those that need it the most, Pilgrims has to raise £8 million each year. The majority of this comes from our local community, so fundraising is very important.
