The 12 Days of Christmas Giving: Rap Interiors Support Heart of Kent Hospice

This Christmas, Rap Interiors are proud to be supporting Heart of Kent Hospice with our annual charity fundraiser, bringing our community together to make a meaningful difference during the festive season.

The hospice provides outstanding care and support to individuals and their families during some of life’s most challenging moments. Their work is truly invaluable, and we are honoured to do our part in raising both awareness and vital funds to support their services.

The Hospice has ambitious plans to build a new facility in Linton, and we’d love to raise as much money as possible to play a small part in making this vision possible.

How Your Donations Make a Difference?

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, has a real and tangible impact on residents and families supported by Heart of Kent Hospice. Here’s how your generosity could help:

£15 could go towards the cost of a specialist palliative care nurse making a reassuring call to a patient
£25 could help provide counselling to a family member overwhelmed by grief and struggling to cope
£40 could provide tempting, nutritious meals for someone in the inpatient unit
£100 could support a home visit from a specialist hospice nurse — helping someone remain at home where they feel safe
£720 could pay for the first 24-hour period of care once a patient is admitted to the hospice inpatient ward

Your support truly changes lives – offering comfort, dignity, and essential care when it’s needed most.

We are delighted to share that we reached our target and raised a wonderful £1,000 for the Heart of Kent Hospice. We are proud to contribute to their vital work, helping to support patients and their families across the local community.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of the local businesses mentioned above, who kindly donated prizes, as well as everyone who took part in the prize draw and donated via our JustGiving page.

I was thrilled to hear the team at RAP Interiors had chosen Heart of Kent Hospice to support for Christmas 2025 with this wonderful campaign. Collaborating with other businesses to make an impact in their community is a demonstration of how businesses can easily get involved a make a difference. Following on from the raffle we are already in talks on further ways we can work together over the coming year, building on our relationship.
