Hospice Care Week

Hospice Care week runs from October 6th to 12th and the local charity Hospice in the Weald is inviting the public to see its work.

Open Mornings take place at Hospice in the Weald, Five Ashes, on 9th October and Hospice in the Weald, Pembury, on 10th October, with talks between 10.30am and 11.30am.

Over a hot drink and a slice of cake, you can learn about how Hospice in the Weald free care and support is tailored to help people to do the things that matter most to them.

Listen to West Kent Radio's Liz Barnes talk to Denise O'Malley of Hospice of the Weald.

Listen here to Hospice in the Weald's Director of Care, Paul Madden, talk about the Pembury refurbishment plans and the importance of planning for the end of a life.
