Our Commitment

Westwood Cross is pleased to announce that our chosen charity for 2010 is Pilgrims Hospices.

Pilgrims Hospices is a charity providing specialist palliative care, free of charge, to people in east Kent.  

They care for people with illnesses that cannot be cured including cancer, heart failure, respiratory conditions and neurological diseases. 

Care is provided from the three sites in Canterbury, Ashford and Thanet, in patients' homes and via community programmes.  

Support is also extended to families and carers.  

To keep delivering care to those that need it the most, Pilgrims Hospice has to raise £8 million each year. 

The majority of this comes from our local community, so fundraising is very important.

Westwood Cross will therefor be involved in a number of fundraising events for the Hospice and we would like to say a big thank you to all those that made a donation at our 'Go Yellow' Event on Tuesday the 18th May where a healthy contribution was raised for this most deserving charity.

Fundraising events to look forward to are the Moonlight Walk from Herne Bay (18th September) and the Thanet Fun Run (26th September). For details phone:  Tel: 01843 233934 or go to Pilgrims Hospice Events
