Our Hospice nurses join walkers at the Moonlit Memories Walk
A team of dedicated Ward Staff including Nursing Assistants, Healthcare Assistants and an Occupational Therapist from the Inpatient unit at Heart of Kent Hospice have started fundraising for one of the Hospice’s flag ship events ‘Moonlit Memories Walk’ which takes place on 23 September 2023.
Pam Martin, Michaela Share, Leah Bishop, Debi Golding, Chloe Hazelwood and Sara Henderson have named their fundraising page ‘Shining Bright’ and all work alongside their clinical colleagues on the Heart of Kent Hospice ward.
The Ward Staff provide support to people and families who've been affected by a terminal illness and live in Maidstone and the surrounding area.
We wanted to walk alongside all our incredible Hospice supporters to show how much their support means to us. We also wanted to highlight the care our wonderful Hospice provides to patients and their families every day of the year.
Everybody receiving care at the Hospice is treated as an individual, whether it’s physical, mental or emotional support they need from the team. We want to continue supporting people to stay as independent as possible, for as long as possible and to help create experiences and memories that last a lifetime.
The ward staff have already started fundraising for the event and are hoping to raise £1,000 towards their own fundraising target for the event. To help the team raise money visit their fundraising page here.
The fun starts at 6.30pm on Saturday 23 September 2023. Included with tickets this year will be a special flashing wrist band which will be given out to all participants when they arrive for the walk. To make the event as sustainable as possible the reusable wrist band is handed back after the event.
The ‘Moonlit Memories Walk’ is one of Heart of Kent Hospice’s flag ship events and raises much needed funds to provide compassionate end-of-life care and support for patients and their families at the Hospice or at home across Maidstone and surrounding areas.
