Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who supports Pilgrims. Without the generous support of the people of east Kent we wouldn't be able to continue to provide the best palliative care to patients and their families.

So to everyone who has donated, volunteered, fundraised, trekked, helped out, gardened, run, jumped out of planes, sponsored, walked, zorbed, been silent, auctioned, raced, etc, on behalf of Pilgrims Hospices, a great big...

Thank you!

Here are just a few examples of some of the amazing ways you have helped...

The Thanet Male Voice Choir who raised £900 at a concert they held at St Mary's Church in Sandwich in December 2009.

All the volunteers who braved the cold to help sell our Christmas Bells at local supermarkets throughout Thanet during November and December, raising over £3,000 and more money for bells still to come.

Carol, Victor and members of the Butterfly Group in Thanet who raised £500 from a Christmas Bazaar. 

The Thanet Concert Band recently put on a concert and raised £325. They also played their hearts out at the Pilgrims Hospices Thanet Summer Fayre and got quite a soaking in the process!
