Chestnut Tree House

Chestnut Tree House Adding life to shortened years. Chestnut Tree House is the children’s hospice for Sussex and South East Hampshire.
(234)

Chestnut Tree House is a children's charity providing hospice care and community support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families in East and West Sussex and South East Hampshire. Thanks to support from the local community children and families who know they don’t have long together have the chance to live life to the full and say goodbye in the way that is right for them. On

a visit to the House, kids can be astronauts for the day in the multi-sensory room, discover creepy crawlies on a woodland walk, or form their very own pop group in the music room. It is a place where parents can just be parents, and not carers, and where siblings have people to talk to who understand. As well as care provided at the House, there is a Community Nursing Team who visit families at home, taking children out to explore their local community or simply giving tired families and carers the chance to take a well-earned break. Then, when the time comes, we help families say goodbye, in whatever way feels right for them, at home or in the hospice itself. They offer ongoing bereavement support for the whole family. The generosity of the local community makes this happen. It costs over £5 million every year to provide hospice care for local children, with only 17% of this coming from government funding. You can show your support by fundraising, volunteering, taking part in a challenge event, playing the Chestnut Tree House lottery, or leaving a gift in your will.

Today is the first day of Will Writing Month! ✍️

Writing a Will is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are looked after.

It’s also an incredible way to support local hospice care for future generations. Did you know that almost a fifth of our income comes from the generous gifts people leave in their Will?

This September, we've partnered with local solicitors to offer Will writing services in exchange for a donation to Chestnut Tree House.

Take care of your family and leave a lasting legacy in your community. 💛

Aye aye captain! 🌊

Last week, we set sail for an adventure with Wetwheels Solent.

Wetwheels gives everyone the chance to experience the sea in a safe, exciting, and accessible way aboard specially designed powerboats. 🚤

It was anchors aweigh as the children and young people we support enjoyed high-speed boat rides, racing across the waves and feeling the wind in their hair. Some even took the helm and had a go at steering the boat themselves! ⚓

A huge thank you to Spread Some Sunshine for funding the trip and making this day possible. Your support helps us create unforgettable experiences and magical memories for the children, young people, and families we care for. 💛
