We want to put on a Christmas Party for the children and families we care for. We'd like to buy gifts and hire a photographer.

About this cause

ellenor is a hospice charity providing care and support for families in Kent facing terminal illness. We are the only hospice in the area that cares for people of all ages; from newborn babies to children, teenagers and the elderly. Our care includes pain and symptom relief, end of life care, respite, bereavement support including counselling, play and music therapy and complementary therapies. We are there for the whole family, including siblings, parents and grandparents. The majority of our care is provided in the comfort and security of the patient's home, avoiding the need for stressful and lengthy stays in hospital. Our care is completely free to our families but costs around £6.7m each year to provide. We are funded by the generosity of the community.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We care for around 150 terminally ill children and this Christmas could be their last one. We want to invite the children, their siblings and parents to join us for a special celebration to make lasting and precious memories. We hope the day will be filled with fun and laughter, as well as bringing together families who would otherwise feel isolated, in a safe environment, with nurses on hand.
