Charity Spotlight: EACH

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice (EACH) provides care and support to children with life-threatening conditions and their families. They have facilities in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Essex, and Suffolk and also provide in-home care. Their services include day care in the home or in their hospices, various types of therapies and play, and symptom, spiritual, and emergency support. EACH’s mission is to help children and their families cope with the “emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most out of life.”

Kate officially became the Royal Patron of EACH in January 2012. She chose to patron EACH because of her interest in art, outdoor activity, and children’s wellness. Since EACH has programs focusing on both art therapy and specialist play, it is a perfect fit. On March 19, 2012, Kate formally opened the Treehouse hospice in Ipswich in an event that included a tour and a public address. She has also helped EACH in making contact with a hospice in Malaysia, with whom EACH wants to develop services. Her latest events with EACH include a video release for Children’s Hospice Week, asking for support of various hospices on April 27 and a visit to the Naomi House (an EACH facility) on April 29. EACH holds a special place in our hearts here at WWKD as we recently participated in a fundraiser for EACH and helped raise $912.45!

Wardrobe Wednesday

Tweet My favorite outfits of Kate’s are, by far, her casual outfits. I was thrilled to see pictures of her looking prettier than me (despite being 8 months pregnant) while shopping for furniture for Kensington Palace.

Live Beautifully: Volunteer Like a Duchess

Tweet A little over a year ago, I had the distinct feeling that something was missing from my life.  I was happy with my job, smitten with my wonderful boyfriend, and had the best gal pals around.  Yet, I was feeling less than fulfilled.

On ‘Kate-hate’, class, and social climbing…

Tweet I’m going to try to be diplomatic. Might not happen… Wikipedia defines a social climber as ‘someone who seeks social prominence…one who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status…”social climber” may be used as an insult, suggesting a poor work ethic or disloyalty to roots‘. Contrast this to the ‘American Dream’ and you haveContinue Reading
