My father, Phil Wright, sadly passed away on 20th May 2020 from cardiac failure caused by endocarditis. He lived a happy life, filled with love and a real sense of duty to help others. His mother and mother-in-law both received fantastic care from the Heart of Kent Hospice, and unfortunately the Hospice is now threatened with closure due to the coronavirus crisis. This is a crucial support centre in our home of Kent, and is something we must fight to save.

From the Hospice;

We are facing a funding crisis like never before and face the threat of closure without your support. Its difficult to live with a terminal illness, but the coronavirus epidemic has made it so much more frightening. Our doctors, nurses and support teams are continuing to help over 880 terminally ill patients and their families, both in their homes and in the Hospice Inpatient Unit. We need to raise £300,000 every month to provide this care and almost all of this comes from fundraising events, our charity shops, and donations. As you can imagine, with the cancellation of fundraising activities and the closure of our shops, most of this income has vanished overnight.We want to be there for you so right now, we need you to be there for us. Were making an urgent appeal to help save our services!
