Pilgrims Hospices

Pilgrims Hospices has been at the heart of compassionate end-of-life care in East Kent for over 40 years, supporting thousands of people living with a life-limiting illness and those who love them. With hospices in Canterbury, Ashford and Thanet, Pilgrims provides specialist care free of charge, ensuring patients are treated with dignity, comfort and respect, whether in an inpatient unit, their own home or the wider community. Their holistic approach supports not only physical needs, but also emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Each year, Pilgrims Hospices cares for more than 3,500 patients and supports their families, friends and carers during some of the most challenging times of their lives. This vital work includes pain and symptom management, counselling and bereavement services, family support, and practical advice. By working closely with local healthcare professionals, Pilgrims helps people to live well for as long as possible, and to die with dignity in the place that feels right for them.

DIE TAFEL DÜSSELDORF

The Tafel Düsseldorf are committed to ensuring that surplus food ends up in the hands of the people who need it most.
In this way, they indirectly help to alleviate financial hardship and at the same time enable those who need help to eat a healthy and balanced diet. To this end, they work together with retailers and manufacturers who provide them with their goods that are no longer saleable but of impeccable quality.
To ensure that the food donations reach where they are needed, around 70 volunteers work for the Tafel. With refrigerated transports, the food is collected from bakeries, supermarkets and other goods dispensers and then prepared for collection at the independent distribution points.
