Alex from 21 Together explains:

21 Together is a registered charity supporting the Down’s syndrome community in Kent through support, awareness, training, and direct intervention. Each year we hold a celebration event to mark World Down’s Syndrome Day for the community. Families are invited to attend a fun-filled day with lots of activities for the whole family to enjoy. World Down’s Syndrome Day helps raise awareness of the challenges faced by people with Down’s syndrome; helping them to participate in daily activities so they can live full lives and play a vital role in their community. With the support of funding from Cantiacorum, this year’s event included, a games bus, messy play, sensory theatre show, a magician, arts and crafts, a lunch spread and more!

Thank you so much for your support of our Charity, we are so grateful for these donations that help us not only continue our work but celebrate it as well.

HEATHER GRAHAM from the hospice explains:

I hope you may enjoy browsing through it, but if you only have time to look at a few pages, I encourage you to go to page 4 where Sylvia Rothschild, our Spiritual Care Lead, explains beautifully what Spiritual Care means and clarifies a common misconception about spirituality and how it relates to religious belief.

On page 5, our patient Ray describes the different ways we are supporting him to spend as much time as possible at home. He has noticed how different the Hospice team is to the many other healthcare professionals he’s encountered, because they appreciate that his family need as much care as he does.

On page 7, you can read about our new Frailty Care Home Service. This service provides support to people who live in one of the 49 care homes in our area and who have a terminal illness or are becoming increasingly frail.
