City of… Caring: CHESTNUT TREE HOUSE – Find a Friend

Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice

Chestnut Tree House provides specialist palliative care services to children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses in East Sussex, West Sussex and South East Hampshire.

The services we offer include assessment, advice and information for children and young adults with life-limiting conditions, specialist short breaks, emergency care, step down from hospital and end of life care.

Our Community Team cares for families in their own homes in East Sussex, West Sussex and South East Hampshire. Our Multi-disciplinary Team offers support for the entire family following diagnosis and through the whole disease process.

Chestnut Tree House also offers bereavement support which includes befriending, counselling and spiritual care. There is also a specialist neonatal care service for under 5’s and transition advice for young people moving to adult services.

Finally, Chestnut Tree House offers care for families after the unexpected death of a child or young person, including the use of our ‘Stars’ bereavement suite.

At Chestnut Tree House our 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.

It costs almost £3 million each year to provide all our care services. Families are never charged for their care and the hospice receives less than 8% from central government, so it relies heavily on the generosity, help and support of the local community.
