Charlotte’s story: “Pilgrims treated my grandma like royalty”
Charlotte Ridley, an editor and artist from Smarden, ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Pilgrims Hospices in October 2026 in memory of her grandma, Jean Ridley.
She raised more than £1,200 for the hospice charity to say thank you for the care Jean received in her final weeks.

Jean lived in Smarden her whole life, and was well-loved within her local community. In 2023, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer; after two years of chemotherapy treatment, she was referred to Pilgrims Hospices, and died at the Ashford hospice in January 2025, aged 87.
Charlotte said: “My grandma and I were very close; we lived together for most of my life. She always supported me and was the strongest woman in my entire family.
“She said yes to every possible treatment offered and went through chemo like an absolute boss, hardly ever complaining, simply playing the cards she was dealt. From the minute she was diagnosed, she unequivocally said she wanted to go into the Ashford hospice when the time came; she’d volunteered in Pilgrims’ Tenterden shop for more than 10 years when she was younger, so was familiar with the charity.
“Her wishes were upheld; in January 2025, upon needing a bed, the Ashford team did everything they could to get her in quickly and with no fuss. They treated her like royalty whilst supporting our family through the toughest weeks. She received the best care, and she fought for those final weeks with everything she had, under the incredible care of the Ashford hospice staff. They were always on hand to help and nothing was too much trouble. They even visited my grandma at home and called daily to offer support before she was officially in their care.

“After she passed, it was her wish that donations be made in her name to Pilgrims; from the church service and donations via the funeral directors, over £1,000 was raised in her memory! I wanted to carry this forward through my own fundraising.”
Charlotte completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 11 October 2026, raising £1,288.99 for Pilgrims. Many donations came from her local community, who knew and loved Jean. Charlotte also runs a print club – Pelican Post (@charlotteridleyart) – which is a monthly subscription service where members receive original artwork designed and created by her, through the post. Charlotte advertised that all profits from the months before the half marathon would go towards her fundraising goal, something that contributed massively to her total:

“I woke up on the day of the Royal Parks Half Marathon super excited for the event and the day ahead. I crossed the start line at about 09:00am kitted out in Pilgrims blue, with blue hairclips and blue jewelry to match!
“The atmosphere of one of London’s most iconic races was absolutely amazing; it was such a privilege to run through the streets lined with supporters and see famous landmarks as I made my way round. It started to get really tough around 18km, but as I remembered why I was running, I pushed through to get a time I was really proud of. I crossed the finish line knowing I had given it my best shot and feeling really proud to represent the people I was running for.
“The rest of the day was dedicated to eating a copious amount of pastries and reuniting with my supporters, who were definitely the loudest ones cheering at the 15km checkpoint! I’m so grateful to Pilgrims for enabling me to represent them, and I hope that all the amazing people who have donated to me know that they’ve made such a difference.”
Charlotte continued:
“I thought it would be fitting to draw attention to a charity very close to home, not only emotionally due to the personal connection, but literally! I personally wanted to be able to know that my fundraising efforts and donations contributed to the great work Pilgrims do in east Kent.
“Our community were incredible in supporting my fundraising, and they also shared their favourite memories of my grandma, which was lovely. In addition, my mum, Alison, is an artist and arts events organiser, and has been instrumental in helping me build and run my print club, to ensure the largest percentage of profits could go towards my goal.
“I hope that through my fundraising, more people learn about the great work Pilgrims does, and that the money raised helps to give others the same care my family received at the most critical time; I hope more families are lucky enough to be cared for by Pilgrims when they need it most.”

Introducing Dr. Tina Ivanov: “I have a genuine interest in how we get death and dying right for people”
Dr. Tina Ivanov is the Director of Clinical Operations at Pilgrims Hospices; she joined the charity in March 2026, following a long career as a paramedic in both Australia and England.
She has also worked in clinical education and service development, helping to keep patients safe, engaging staff, and leading on clinical governance.
Tina shares what drew her to palliative care, and her hopes for the future at Pilgrims.
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Tina moved to the UK in 2015:
“People always ask me why I left Oz. Firstly, I love to travel, and the world seems much closer when based in England. But the other reason was work; I thought I could learn so much being part of the healthcare system in England. It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot to be excited about in the way we deliver health and care here.”
What is your professional background?
“It’s a lovely mix of clinical, people and education. I’ve been a registered paramedic, which is one of the Allied Health Professions, for nearly three decades. I also have a professional membership with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, and I’m a Doctor of Education.
I’ve worked in ambulance services and a hospital, as well as in universities, in lecturing and course development, for most of my career. I’ve been a manager for about 20 years, leading teams and services, and working at senior levels across operations, people and service development.”

What drew you to palliative care? What is your personal experience of palliative care?
Tina’s mum, Dorothy, with her grandson (Tina’s son), Luke
“As a paramedic, I’ve seen the full spectrum of palliative patients, dying and death. In my early career, I felt I needed to “save” everyone, but as I learnt more and saw the reality, my approach to death and dying changed. I saw that having dignity in death and allowing the dying person to feel supported and in control, and providing information to them and their family, was far more beneficial than medication or intervention – so I have a genuine interest in how we get this right for people.
I experienced this personally through my mum, Dorothy, who lived with Parkinson’s disease for many years before being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Although one part of my family remained in denial right to the end, my mum wanted a safe space to talk about her wishes and to die at home. The support provided by the hospice team was exceptional, and my mum died at home with us there. Being able to support that outcome for her was one of the most privileged positions I could be in.
These two experiences made me curious about best practice in palliative and end-of-life care; not just from a medical point of view, but with the whole picture in mind – psychological, environmental, the family, support – everything.”
Why did you choose Pilgrims Hospices? What do you enjoy about your role?
“The more I learnt about Pilgrims, the more I felt this is the right place for me. It has such a strong connection to the community we serve, which is so important to me. When I asked people about the charity, everyone spoke with such pride and connection, and I wanted to be part of that. And now that I’m here, I feel it; it’s not words on a poster on a wall, it’s real, and something I experience every day. Our people, staff, patients and volunteers all really matter.
I love working with individual teams and hearing about those stories where families and patients are supported, the stuff that goes on behind the work. Because we get to know our patients, we can do the very personal things that make such a difference. I love that, as Pilgrims, we champion that and give people the space to do it properly. It gives me a real positive energy in my role, and it’s what makes Pilgrims a very special place to work.”
Pilgrims Hospices is a charity dedicated to providing expert care and support to patients with life-limiting illnesses in east Kent. Our services ensure comfort, dignity, and quality of life for patients and their families, offering compassionate care both in hospice settings and in the community.
Love, music and making memories: Claire and Simon’s story
For Pilgrims Hospices patient, Claire Scott, and her husband, Simon, life is filled with love, music and a deep appreciation for every moment they share together.
When Claire, 55, a talented pianist, met Simon, 45, a singer and songwriter, at a training event, their connection was immediate, love blossomed almost straight away.
Now living in Lyminge, the couple have built a life centred around creativity, compassion, and making meaningful memories together. They’ve even performed side by side at garden parties, sharing their love of music with others.
Claire was first diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago.
After treatment, she enjoyed precious years of stability, but two years ago received the devastating news that her cancer had returned and spread to her liver, bones and spine. Since then, she has undergone various treatments, determined, as she says, to “buy a little more time.”
Despite the challenges, Claire approaches each day with honesty, strength and remarkable positivity.
“I’ve recently been offered a new course of chemotherapy,” Claire explained.
“There’s hope it could give me more time, possibly even a couple of years. That means everything to us. It’s time to be together, to plan, and to make sure things are in place for Simon.”
With a background as a medical secretary, Claire feels she has been able to understand her diagnosis and treatment more clearly, helping her to make informed decisions about her care. Recently, a combination of steroid medication and pain relief has helped her feel more positive again, though she is open about the reality of living with serious illness.
“There are good days and bad days,” she said. “Some days are much harder than others, but I will always strive to be positive and grateful for the time I have with Simon, my family and loved ones.”
Support from Pilgrims Hospices has been central to both Claire and Simon’s journey.
“Pilgrims is full of warmth and love, it feels like a family,” Claire said.
“The team regularly check in with me to make sure I’m feeling supported and making the most of everything available. From the doctors, nurses, health care assistants, and wellbeing teams, I feel like I have a cushion of support helping me through every emotional step. It’s like they’re saying, ‘It’s OK, we’ve got you.’”
Through Pilgrims’ wellbeing services, Claire has taken part in therapeutic art, and creative sessions such as Tiles of Joy, while also recording special messages for her loved ones through the Blackbird Project, leaving behind treasured memories in her own voice.
For Simon, support has come through counselling and wellbeing walks, helping him to navigate the emotional challenges of Claire’s illness. Music, too, remains a powerful outlet. He has written a deeply personal song, Blessed, which will one day be played at Claire’s funeral, a reflection of their love and shared journey.
“Having the time to make these decisions together is incredibly important,” Simon said.
Claire is equally focused on Simon’s future, encouraging him to continue creating and sharing his music.
“We are both really creative,” she said. “I want Simon to have wonderful projects to focus on moving forward.”
Recently, the couple created one of their most treasured memories, their wedding day. With support from the charity Gift of a Wedding, Claire and Simon were able to celebrate a beautiful ceremony at Broome Park on 27 March 2026.
In just five weeks, an incredible team of supporters brought the day together, with everything from the venue and dress to photography, cake, and hair and make-up generously donated.
“It was the most wonderful day,” Claire said. “We didn’t feel a burning need to get married, we did it purely for love.”
Surrounded by family, along with members of the Pilgrims team, the day was a celebration not just of their relationship, but of life itself.
“We feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such a loving family,” Claire shared. “They are kind, supportive, and bring light even in the hardest moments.”
Claire and Simon
Together, Claire and Simon have made a conscious choice to face the future with openness and positivity.
“People can sometimes see death as something very dark,” Claire reflected. “But for us, it’s about embracing the time we have, focusing on love, creativity, and the kindness we receive from family, friends and Pilgrims.”
Simon is now passionate about giving back, using his music to support others facing similar journeys. He recently played some music for a fellow Pilgrims patient; one of the pieces really helpedthem reconnect with their family, which was wonderful, a moment that stayed with him deeply.
For Claire and Simon, every day matters.
“Pilgrims holds such a special place in our hearts,” Claire said.
“Knowing they are here for both of us, now and in the future, helps us remain positive. I know Simon will continue to support hospice care long after I’m gone.”
Together, they continue to focus on what truly counts: love, connection, creativity, and making the most of the time they have, holding on to joy, even in life’s most difficult moments.

Tiles of Joy, creativity, connection and moments of happiness at Pilgrims Hospices

A beautiful community art project, kindly funded by the Cantiacorum Foundation, is bringing colour, creativity and connection to Pilgrims Hospices, as patients, carers, staff and volunteers come together to take part in Tiles of Joy.
Led by ceramic artist Jayne Wright of JAW Ceramics CIC, Tiles of Joy began in 2023 in partnership with Power of Women (POW) Thanet, with an inspiring workshop at the Margate Caves.
Since then, the project has grown into something truly special, with more than 2,000 handcrafted tiles created by people across Thanet and beyond.
The project has united a wide range of community groups, from local schools and heritage organisations to social inclusion initiatives and arts groups, nurturing creativity and connection across the area.
More recently, Pilgrims’ Wellbeing groups have been taking part in the inspiring Tiles of Joy project. Patients, carers, Stepping Stones bereavement groups, staff and volunteers were invited to create their own ceramic tiles, each reflecting what brings them happiness. During the sessions, participants explored clay by scraping, indenting and shaping their designs, supported throughout by Jayne, who then carefully fired each piece before returning them ready for display.
Now proudly displayed at the hospices in Ashford and Thanet, these unique artworks form beautiful, fixed installations, each tile telling its own story and together creating a lasting celebration of community, creativity and care.
The experience has been both thought-provoking and uplifting. Participants have not only enjoyed the hands-on creative process, but also the special experience of seeing their work become part of a shared piece of art, something that will continue to bring comfort and joy to all who visit.
The project has also inspired Pilgrims’ Wellbeing team to explore how clay and creative therapies could play a bigger role in future sessions, opening up new opportunities to support patients and families through creativity and wellbeing activities.

As the Wellbeing team shared:
“It has been such a meaningful experience for everyone involved. Seeing people relax into the process, express themselves so freely, and then light up when they see their finished tile on display, has been incredibly special.”
Ann Mapley, a Wellbeing patient at Pilgrims Hospices who took part in the sessions, said:
“The brief was to design tiles that meant something to us, and for me that was my grandchildren. One of them loves George’s Dragon and the other loves snails, so I created a dragon and a snail on my tiles. It was such a fun afternoon, there were lots of laughs and giggles as we all tried to get everything just right with help from the lovely ladies running the session.
“Seeing the mural come together has been wonderful; it looks so lovely now. I first found out about the project through a leaflet that had been brought in, and I’m really glad I took part.”
Tiles of Joy is a reminder that even small moments of creativity can have a lasting impact, bringing people together, sparking reflection, and creating something truly meaningful.

A tribute to Alex Miles: “Pilgrims go above and beyond”
Alex Miles from Folkestone was a family man; a devoted husband to Ruth and father to Millie, Jake, Mason, Layla and Bailey, he served as a sergeant in Kent Police and played football for Folkestone Invicta FC.
In 2019, Alex, then aged 44, was diagnosed with lung cancer, which had spread to his bones. He began treatment and, with his condition managed, was able to live relatively well and even continue working.
But in 2024, Alex suffered two strokes, after which he was admitted to Pilgrims Hospices for end-of-life care.
Alex died at the Ashford hospice in September 2024, aged 49.

Ruth shares how Pilgrims helped their family to make the most of their precious final moments with Alex, and supported them in their grief after his death:
“Alex was transferred from hospital; after the second stroke, he wasn’t really conscious, but Pilgrims made him comfortable – it was noticeable as soon as he got to the hospice.
“As a family, we had such a positive experience of Pilgrims’ care. Alex was only in the hospice for a few days, and although it was never going to be easy, it was as comforting as it could possibly have been. We had a family room, so a few of us could sleep in there with Alex. Friends and family could visit any time to say their goodbyes.
“I was breastfeeding our youngest child, Bailey, who was just five months old at the time. The kind nurses and staff were so supportive – they made us countless cups of tea and toast, took Bailey for walks and played with him to give us a break, answered our questions, held our hands and simply listened. They even shared their own stories with us; we learned that so many of them have personal experiences of hospice care, which is what inspired them to work for Pilgrims. They did all this whilst keeping Alex comfortable; they really do go above and beyond.”
“After Alex died, myself and one of Alex’s older children were offered bereavement counselling; we really appreciated that continuity of care. I also had massages from the complementary therapy team, which were lovely.
“I can’t fault Pilgrims, they’re fantastic.”
In April 2025, Alex’s family launched the inaugural Miles Memorial Cup – a football match in honour of Alex to celebrate his life, which they plan to make an annual event. On 18 April 2026, the match was held in aid of Pilgrims, raising £4,000 for local hospice care.
Ruth said:
“We wanted to give back to those that helped us on Alex’s journey; Pilgrims were able to offer the specialist, compassionate care that Alex needed at the end of his life, when no one else could. If our fundraising helps just one other family to have that same support and peace, it will mean so much to us. We’re lucky to have such brilliant hospice care in the UK, but it is only available thanks to peoples’ generous support and donations – that’s why it’s so important for us to fundraise for Pilgrims.
“Any opportunity to talk about Alex and have other people remember him, I’ll take it, because he deserves that. It’s very comforting for me. Although Alex’s life was cut short, this is how we can keep his memory alive.”

Theresa Rowlstone: A remarkable career caring for the people of east Kent
For more than three decades, Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) Theresa Rowlstone dedicated her nursing career to caring for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across east Kent.
Theresa, who has recently moved from Whitstable to Herne Bay, qualified as a nurse from the Canterbury and Thanet School of Nursing in January 1987. Having initially considered a career in children’s physiotherapy or teaching, it was her mum, who was also a nurse, who encouraged her to choose nursing, a decision that shaped an extraordinary career.
Theresa in her early nursing career
Theresa joined Pilgrims Hospices as a staff nurse at Canterbury in March 1988, before taking time away to undertake a specialist cancer course at the Royal Marsden. She later worked as a senior staff nurse at Margate hospital before returning to Pilgrims in 1992 as ward sister at the newly opened Thanet hospice.
Over the years, Theresa has worked across all three Pilgrims sites, progressing from staff nurse and ward sister to senior nurse manager, a role she held at Thanet for 17 years. She also developed a strong interest in education, achieving a Master’s degree in 2009 before joining the education team in a clinical practice development role.
“I really enjoyed being part of the education and training team,” Theresa says. “It was exciting to be involved in developing people and helping them progress in their careers.”
Although she loved teaching, Theresa missed the direct connection with patients and their families. She returned to clinical care and went on to become an Advanced Clinical Practitioner, a role she has held for many years.
A career of change, learning and compassion
Throughout her career, Theresa has witnessed enormous changes in nursing, palliative care and the services provided by Pilgrims. Yet one thing has remained constant: her belief that patients must always be at the heart of everything we do.
“For me, it’s about keeping the patient at the centre of everything we do at Pilgrims,” she says. “It’s a privilege to be alongside families and helping them plan for what’s ahead for them.”
Theresa has also seen huge changes in the opportunities available to nurses and healthcare assistants:
“We now have four ACP and four trainee ACPs, allowing us to provide training and supervision for our successors in this development.”
“You can really have a great career here. There are opportunities to learn new skills to enhance your career. I find it all very exciting.”
For Theresa, one of the greatest lessons of a career in palliative care has been learning what really matters:
“This job teaches you what’s important; making the most of life, finding the things you love and pursuing them. It’s always taught me to live for the day.”
Ready for the next chapter
After more than 35 years with Pilgrims, Theresa says she now feels ready for retirement:
“I feel I’m ready and at peace with retiring. I’ve had a brilliant career.”
Having experienced arthritis and undergone a knee replacement, Theresa decided it was time to “bite the bullet” and embrace the next chapter.
She and her husband have recently moved to Herne Bay and are looking forward to more time together, holidays, trips to the cinema and swimming pool, and discovering the cafes along the coast:
“I think time will fill up pretty quickly,” Theresa laughs. “I might actually be busier in retirement than when I was working – but nicely busy!”
She is also looking forward to spending more time with her granddaughter and time supporting her parents.
Time for creativity and theatre
Retirement will give Theresa more time to enjoy her creative interests, particularly her love of amateur dramatics.
“I’m still involved with amateur dramatics. I’ve got plays that I’m arranging costumes for – up until Christmas ” she says.
She is looking forward to getting back to “treading the boards” and having a little more time to learn her lines.
She also hopes retirement will give her more time for crafts, including a local craft group she attends once a month:
“I want to have some time to focus on the things I love, like crafts.”
Theresa is also considering volunteering in the future, perhaps in a charity shop, although she is happy to take her time deciding what comes next:
“I’m definitely taking a few months out to decide what’s next and possibly still keep some involvement with Pilgrims Hospices.”
Theresa’s advice for the next generation
Theresa believes nursing and hospice care offer more opportunities than ever for those starting their careers.
“Seize the opportunities,” she says. “What’s exciting about Pilgrims is that nurses come together across the charity; there’s a career pathway for nurses and HCAs.”
A lasting legacy
For Theresa, being a nurse has become a fundamental part of who she is.
“Being a nurse and a palliative care nurse is part of my identity; I think initially retirement will feel a bit like a holiday.”
After such a long and rewarding career, Theresa leaves behind a wealth of experience, knowledge and memories, as well as the many people whose lives she has touched along the way.
A few words from Theresa’s colleagues
“Theresa has been such a key part of Pilgrims for so many years that it is hard to imagine the place without her; she has quite simply become part of the furniture!
“She is a truly compassionate and empathetic nurse who has always gone above and beyond, putting patients at the very heart of everything she does. I cannot begin to imagine the number of patients and families she has supported and cared for over the years, as well as the countless members of staff whose lives she has touched along the way.
“Theresa is always so positive and is quite simply a ray of sunshine. She has a wonderful ability to make people feel supported and valued, and I don’t think I have ever heard her say a cross word about anyone!
“She has also been a great source of support for staff, whether through her wellbeing sessions, the occasional Easter quiz or her Christmas decorations, which helped bring a little extra sparkle to Pilgrims each year.
“Theresa will be greatly missed by all of us. Her kindness, compassion, positivity and unwavering dedication have made a lasting difference to so many people.
“We wish her all the very best for her retirement and hope the years ahead are filled with happiness, laughter, relaxation and plenty of wonderful adventures. She absolutely deserves it!
“Enjoy your retirement, Theresa – you will be very much missed!”
Kate White, Senior Nurse Manager
“We are grateful for Theresa that she not only brought her dedicated care and compassion to her work at the hospice, but also her creativity and love for teaching.
“She has helped to shape the career pathways that are now available at Pilgrims Hospices, especially for our nursing colleagues. However, it is not only nurses, but also doctors and other colleagues of the wider clinical teams who have benefited from her clinical experience and wisdom, and Theresa will be missed by her colleagues just as much as by the patients and their families.
“On behalf of the executive team, I thank her wholeheartedly and wish her well in her retirement and many adventures to come.”
Dr Pia Amsler, Medical Director and Consultant
“Theresa is always upbeat and looking for the positive. She is incredibly supportive of staff, and has a constant stream of activities to keep people happy.
“Alongside that, she brings such a wealth of experience from all the years she has worked in this area. There is very little Theresa hasn’t come across before, and she is always able to offer sage advice.
“She has been an extremely committed member of the team, giving her all to the organisation. She now deserves an enjoyable and restful retirement, although I don’t suppose she’ll be resting very much!”
Andrew Thorns, Lead Consultant in Palliative Care
As Theresa begins her retirement, everyone at Pilgrims will be wishing her a very happy next chapter, with plenty of time for the people and things she loves, new adventures, crafts, theatre and, hopefully, plenty of opportunities to take a well-earned bow.
