Our Mission

 

Children with life-limiting conditions and their families deserve the best healthcare, support and care coordination, in the community they live in. 

​​

We will collaborate with local services to support integration, growth and expansion, in order to provide a fully accessible and equitable experience across the UK. 

 

To achieve this we will:​

Replicate

the Kentown model of community palliative care to reach more children with life-limiting conditions.

Create

sustainable teams around the child and family while demonstrating the impact of the Kentown model.

Equip

professionals and parents/carers with the knowledge and expertise to deliver the best health and social care for children with life-limiting conditions. 

Our core values are at the heart of who we are and underpin all the work we do.  
                                             

  • We are committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for the children and families we support. 

  • We are ambitious and strive for maximum impact.

  • We collaborate and bring people together who share our passion and persistence to get the best outcomes for children.

We focus on three key elements: nursing care, family support and service coordination. This wrap-around support helps families easily access all the help and assistance they need in their local communities.

  • Nursing

During our pilot programme, we had tremendous feedback about the positive difference this support is making to families going through incredibly tough times.

 

As Kentown Support grows and expands into new areas of the UK, we continue to develop and adjust how we roll out this model of care so that it complements any established statutory and voluntary services in the area. Together, this support can make a critical difference to families’ lives.​​
