Our new Impact Report is now available!

As a small charity, we're proud to be making a big impact across Kenya.
Last year, with the support of our generous donors in the UK and partners in Kenya, we improved the lives of more than 4,100 adults and children living with life-limiting illnesses and provided vital support to 2,100 family members. We also strengthened palliative care services through training that reached over 1,440 people, helping more patients access compassionate care both now and in the future.

Good luck, Pete!

This weekend, Peter Gandon heads to France to take on the UTMB Nice Côte d'Azur 100K in support of HCK.
What makes this challenge even more special is the personal connection behind it. From his childhood in Kenya and his family's long-standing support of HCK, to the countless training miles completed over recent months, this journey has been years in the making.
Please join us in wishing Pete the very best of luck as he takes on this incredible challenge.

In Turkana County, one of Kenya's most remote and underserved regions, our project with Turkana Cancer Support Group and wonderful palliative care nurse Sulekha Edaan, helped bring palliative care closer to home for people living with serious illness. By training 60 healthcare workers, establishing referral pathways, supporting home-based care and raising community awareness, we laid the foundations for local palliative care services across the county.

The impact has been remarkable, utilisation of palliative care services increased ten-fold during the project, meaning many more patients and families are now receiving the care and support they need.

The countdown is on!

After months of training around Bristol and beyond, Peter Gandon is just days away from taking on the UTMB Nice Côte d'Azur 100K.
That's 109km of running and 5,400m of elevation gain, all in support of Hospice Care Kenya.
Pete's connection to HCK goes back to his childhood in Nairobi, and we're so grateful he's chosen to support our work through this incredible challenge.
Good luck, Pete. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way!

At the end of the month, Peter Gandon will take on UTMB Nice Côte d'Azur 100K race to raise funds for Hospice Care Kenya; an epic challenge covering 109km distance and 5,400m of elevation gain in the mountains above Nice, France.

For Pete, this challenge is about much more than running.
"As a family, as is true for so many, palliative care has impacted many people we know and have loved."

Hospice and palliative care services provide comfort, dignity and support to patients and their families during some of life's most difficult moments. Through his fundraising, Pete is helping HCK continue this vital work in Kenya.

We're incredibly grateful for his support and commitment.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers in Laikipia, who have been busy knitting breast prostheses for women recovering from mastectomy surgery.
Many of these wonderful women are breast cancer survivors themselves, bringing not only skill and dedication to every stitch, but also understanding, encouragement and hope. These finished prostheses will soon be stuffed and distributed to women who need them, helping to restore comfort and confidence after treatment.
Thank you, ladies, for your compassion, generosity and amazing work.
