How you’re helping this Christmas

Harry was born prematurely with pulmonary hypertension and a hole in his heart. He needs constant care, and it isn’t always easy, balancing medical care with playtime. Which is why our families need you. By fundraising you’re helping families like Harry’s spend time decorating Christmas trees and getting into the festive spirit – instead of fixing feeding tubes and managing care.

Harry on the swings

“Harry loves being at Chestnut Tree House. Although he’s non-verbal, when we tell Harry he’s going to be visiting the hospice, his smile and excitement says it all He loves to splash around in the pool and bake cakes with the staff."

- Harry’s mum, Marlene.

Travel up the Brighton i360, you could be up to 1.5 hours – plenty of time to take in the amazing views!

The expert Brighton i360 team attach you to a harness and you’ll drop down on a safety line all the way to the seafront. Your exhilarating decent will take approximately 5 minutes and you’ll be guided by experts in the pod and on the ground.

You’ll be met at the bottom by your friends and family, with volunteers cheering you on.

  • Age restrictions: There is a minimum age of 12 for this event. All participants aged 12-17 must be accompanied on the day by a parent or guardian.
