Hospice in the Weald

Who we are

Our Mission: Hospice in the Weald strives to provide care, advice, and support for everyone in our community living with terminal or life limiting illness, together with their loved ones. We empower people to celebrate life and make the most of the precious time they have for living.

Our Values: 

Our organisational values are effectively a code of conduct which, together with our culture of empowerment, guide our decision making and our behaviours, making it clear how people working and volunteering at Hospice in the Weald should behave.

• Honest – we are a trustworthy and reliable organisation that treats people with respect and candour.

• Kind – kindness is central to the compassionate care we provide and is evident in all of our daily interactions.

• Learning – we strive to continually learn in all aspects of our work and embrace the changes needed to become even better.

• Ambitious – we will never stop working to provide people with access to the care they want and need.

• Sustainable – meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability to meet future needs. There are three aspects to our approach to sustainability – environmental, social, and economic.

• Effective – enabling adults and children in Kent and Sussex to access the most effective Hospice care, celebrate life and have a dignified death.

The culture of an organisation is its personality and character. Organisational culture is made up of shared values, beliefs, and assumptions about how staff and volunteers should behave and interact between themselves as well as with patients and their loved ones. Having a culture of empowerment means working in ways that encourages all people to develop and become more capable and more confident.

We are not part of the NHS. We rely on the generous people from our community who give their money and time to help raise the £8 million we need each and every year to deliver the level of care that we do.
