‘Santas on the Run’ in aid of Sussex Hospice

 

Lorraine Nugent, Director of Media Word Waves joined hundreds of other ‘Santas on the Run’ as they ran around Crawley Town Centre in aid of Chestnut Tree House, a Sussex Hospice caring for terminally ill children.

Chestnut Tree House is the only children’s hospice in Sussex and cares  for children and young adults from 0-19 years of age with progressive  life-limiting conditions from Sussex and South East Hampshire.  Completed in 2003, the hospice provides a ‘home from home’ environment  with 10 children’s bedrooms plus eight family rooms, a wet and dry play  area, computer and music rooms, a multi sensory room and hydrotherapy  pool. The house is set in beautiful gardens within an area of  outstanding natural beauty. There are potentially 400 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.  The hospice costs £2.5 million per year to run. Families are never  charged for their care and less than 9p in evey pound is funded by the  government, the charity rely heavily on the generosity, help and support of  the people of Sussex.

“It’s a fantastic cause, and it was great to do our bit to help. I recently visited the Hospice and was most impressed with the great work at the Centre which wasn’t like a hospital and as you would expect at all. I did come away feeling very moved and had to blink away the tears after meeting some of the children staying at the Hospice. I would encourage anyone to visit” commented Lorraine.
