St Peter & St James Hospice

St Peter and St James Hospice provides expert and compassionate hospice care in the heart of Sussex. Our support extends to friends and families too.

St Peter & St James Hospice provides expert care to adults living with a life-limiting illness in our community. Our community includes Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Uckfield and everywhere in between. We support people to live and die well, according to what matters most to them. All of our hospice services are free of charge. We rely on the amazing generosity of our local community to help us raise more than £6 million every year. That’s £10,000 every single day. For more information about who we are and how we help, or to find out how you can support us, visit our website or send a message to our page.

We are delighted that this year's Occupational Therapy Week is focusing on participation.

At St Peter & St James Hospice, we share the Royal College of Occupational Therapists' belief that everyone should have the opportunity to take part in the activities that matter most to them.

Across the UK, and throughout the hospice sector, there is growing recognition that support should begin earlier and focus on helping people live well by staying connected to the people, places and activities that are important to them.

If you, or someone you care about, is living with a life-limiting illness, we want you to know that:
• We welcome referrals from the point of diagnosis.
• We will work with you to understand what matters most to you.
• We can support you to take part in meaningful activities and maintain your quality of life.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the Myles family who took on the challenge of hiking up Snowdon and raised an outstanding £7,862.25 for support St Peter & St James Hospice.

Their gift will help us to support people in their local community with a life-limiting illness and those close to them. Without fantastic fundraisers like the Myles family and others in our community like them, we just wouldn't be able to offer the care that we provide.

If you would like to take on a challenge or have something planned this Christmas that you could turn into to a fundraiser to support our care, please contact [email protected].

Did you know? Shine Bright is for the whole family… including your favourite four-legged family member! 🐕💕

Because let’s face it… walks are always better with the dog!

Sign up and bring your best furry friend along for the 3km in memory Shine Bright walk through the beautiful village of Lindfield. Enjoy an evening of connection, wellbeing, community and companionship - with plenty of wagging tails along the way!

And we’ve got a little something special for your pooch this year…🐾🎁

Judge's Choice is giving away 50 FREE treat bags! The first 50 people arriving with their dogs can come and find us in the event village at Lindfield School from 4pm and claim a special Judge’s Choice treat bag for their four-legged family member.

So... grab your lead, round up the family and get those tails wagging!

"We’re so excited to be part of Shine Bright and to support St Peter & St James Hospice, helping them provide vital care and support to more patients and their families in our local community."

Because our dogs bring us so much companionship, connection and joy - and we think they deserve to Shine Bright too!

Who’s bringing their best furry friend? Comment below if you're coming or why not share a photo with us at the same time - we'd love to see them!
