Where will you be on
Christmas Day?
Christmas Day will start with a
church service followed by
presents and family time. We have
a meal booked for eleven of us in
our local pub. In the afternoon, I
will pop into ellenor hospice in
Gravesend for a few hours
continuing the support that we
provide all year round.
How would you sum up what
you do at ellenor?
I provide support to patients and
their families to help reduce any
fears and anxiety they may have.
I’m a listening year, both in times
of grief and loneliness, but also
day to day.
