This year, Bauvill has nominated the ground-breaking ‘Three Wishes’ project at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford as our charity of the year for 2022.

East Kent Hospitals Charity is the first to introduce this project to the UK which aims to bring comfort to patients and their families; sharing kindness and compassion at the end of someone’s life when, despite everyone’s best efforts, it has not been possible to save them.

The William Harvey Hospital Critical Care team will work with patients and loved ones to honour and celebrate them as an individual and to fulfil their wishes as they approach the end of their life.

This project gives patients the chance to reflect on their lives, and to identify what matters most to them. It allows families to spend precious time with their loved one, creating meaningful moments in those last hours and days. Each ‘wish’ is a simple, personalised request reflecting a patient’s passion or need as they approach the end of their life.

We are calling on the kindness and generosity of our suppliers, sub-contractors, friends and family to help sustain this important project.
