The Bloomers Trust has been set up to show love and compassion through the giving of essential, practical gifts which are not provided by other sources. The Bloomers Trust supplies, wherever possible, items requested by Caseworkers for vulnerable women and babies whom they are supporting. This includes: Push chairs, Moses Baskets, High chairs, Cots etc. These items will be second hand goods of the highest quality. This will also include items purchased new which are considered as essentials for nursing mums including: breast pads, maternity clothing & toiletries.

Pilgrims run three hospices across Kent (Ashford, Canterbury and Thanet) providing specialist palliative care services to patients through inpatient and day care, clinics, support at home from teams of community nurses and a 24-hour helpline. Families receive social, pastoral and bereavement support from teams of professionals at all three hospices. There is also an education centre that provides training and education for professionals and the public. Everyone at Pilgrims Hospices is dedicated to ensuring people living with a life limiting illness can access the quality care and comfort they deserve, when and where they want it. We help them to live well in every moment, in mind and body. Many of the services we offer are about helping people to live better. We can't necessarily add days to lives, but with your support we can add life to days. To achieve our vision we need to raise £11m a year through fundraising so that we can continue providing specialised end of life care to local people and their families, friends and carers. This is only possible with the ongoing support and generosity of our volunteers, local businesses and various groups throughout our community.
