Chestnut Tree House launches 10th Anniversary Business Awards

Around 100 supporters of a different sort gathered at Crawley Town Football Club on Thursday 18th October when Sussex children’s hospice, Chestnut Tree House, launched its inaugural business awards.

Part of its tenth anniversary celebrations, the charity wants to reward and recognize not only the many Sussex businesses which have supported them but also the sterling efforts of employees of those companies.

Said Sarah Arnold, Corporate Fundraising Manager for Chestnut Tree House, “Hundreds of businesses have raised thousands of pounds to help us run the only children’s hospice in the county over the past ten years and we want to thank them and give something back.

“We are inviting businesses to nominate themselves or name individuals in their organisations who have put in extraordinary effort to raise funds to help us. It costs a staggering £6,850 per day to provide all our care services – both at the hospice and out in the community across Sussex – for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.

“We are caring for more children than ever before and care costs are increasing, yet we only receive 8% of our funding from central government and so are almost entirely dependent on the generosity of local businesses and individuals across Sussex to support us and help cover our costs”.

Chief executive of Crawley Town Football Club, Alan Williams, then took to the stage to talk about the club’s involvement with Chestnut Tree House and urged businesses and their staff who have supported the charity to put themselves forward for the 10th Anniversary Business Awards.

There will be seven awards categories and judged by an expert panel – please got to the website to find out more www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk.
