We all know people who need charity help, but often the children charities can be over looked. This year we want to fundraise for Chestnut Tree House and are taking part in their 10K Night walk.

Chestnut Tree House is a children’s charity providing hospice care services and community support for children and young people with progressive life-shortening conditions throughout East and West Sussex, Brighton and Hove 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 over £4 million each year to provide all the care services offered by Chestnut Tree House. Families are never charged for their care and less than 6p in every pound is funded by the government, so they rely heavily on the generosity, help and support of the people of Sussex.

At Chestnut Tree House their goal is to provide the best quality of life for children, young people and their families, and to offer a total package of practical, social and spiritual support throughout each child’s life, however short it may be.

This isn't going to be very easy for me, I have fibromyalgia, but we decided to give it a go, wearing armour and Medieval clothing as an extra challenge!

Please donate, gift aid if you can, and share as far as possible. Thank you!
