Ellenor Description

We are ellenor, a charity funded by the generosity of our local community, offering the best care and support to families facing terminal illness in Kent. We are the only charity in the county that provides hospice care for people of all ages – babies, children and adults - and their families. This includes pain and symptom relief, end of life care, respite, bereavement support and emotional and spiritual care.

Our Children’s Hospice Care, formerly known as chYps, is provided in the comfort of the family home and spans across North and West Kent and the London Borough of Bexley. Adults living in Gravesham, Dartford and Swanley, receive care in their place of choice, including their own homes, at our Hospice in Gravesend and in local care homes.

We interviewed Sarah Carter (Children’s Nurse) to find out how our Children’s Team are keeping seriously ill children and families together this Christmas🎄:
“Christmas can be very difficult, especially if children are very sick or at end of life. It’s a really key goal for our families to have that last Christmas together, and we help to facilitate that. We keep them out of hospital as we provide that specialist complex care.”
ellenor prides itself on delivering the best hosp...ice care to seriously and terminally ill children and young adults. We believe it’s crucial not only to support the children under our care, but also their siblings. We help to reduce the time children have to spend in hospital by arranging and coordinating the care tailored to their needs at home and providing specialist advice as well as emotional and other practical support for the family.
The team also works closely with multiple teams in hospitals and in the community to ensure the highest quality of care.

We had a great time talking to everyone at the 50+ Forum held @TheWoodville in Gravesend last week. The community were very keen to support their local hospice charity and find out more about our groups – such as Carers and Bereavement Cuppa; along with volunteering and fundraising opportunities.
We really enjoyed talking to so many people about their own personal experiences and look forward to the next event.

My Dad went to day therapy weekly for over a year, he was looked after and met some amazing people. He was an inpatient in the last two weeks of his life and they looked after dad with care and compassion. Doctors and nurses alike. They even cared and looked after me!
