ellenor provides hospice care and support to families facing terminal illness in Kent and is the only charity in the county which provides hospice care for people of all ages. ellenor’s Children’s Hospice Care is provided in the comfort of the family home and spans across North and West Kent and the London Borough of Bexley.
The charity explains:
We need to be there for everyone who needs us, but as we approach the end of the most traumatic years in history when income from events, fundraising activities, and our shops have almost disappeared, we desperately need your help to keep our nurses out in the community throughout the winter.
Our Children’s Team will be on call, offering expert support to allow families to have Christmas at home with their little ones. If a child reaches the end of their life over Christmas, our nursing team will be there to ensure the child’s last hours are spent in comfort and peace.
Victoria has been an Ambassador for ellenor for eight years.
“The work that ellenor does is inspirational,” she explains. “The charity provides invaluable care and support to babies, children and teenagers, their parents, siblings and family members through what are extremely difficult and unimaginable times. ellenor is relentless in its commitment to provide 24-hour palliative and end-of-life care to children who desperately need it.”
She adds: “By donating to ellenor’s Christmas appeal, you're helping the charity provide vital comfort and care to adults and children who need support during Christmas.”
• £28.39, this is enough to pay for an hour of a nurse’s care for a child during their final days, offering much needed support and compassion to their family.
• £47.39, the cost of a typical nurse’s visit to a patient’s home, perhaps on Christmas day.
• £154.69, enough to ensure our nurse support line is available for 12 full hours over Christmas.
