Story
Chestnut Tree House is the
only children's hospice in East and West Sussex and cares for 300 children and
young adults from 0-19 years of age with progressive life-limiting conditions
from Sussex and South East Hampshire.
There are potentially 1,000 families with life-limited children in Sussex.
Chestnut Tree House offers support for the whole family including psychological
and bereavement support, end of life and short break care and sibling support.
It currently costs well over £3m each year to provide all the care
services provided by Chestnut Tree House. Families
are never charged for their care and less than 8p in every pound is funded by
the government, so we rely heavily on the generosity, help and support of the
people of Sussex.
