Walk for Chestnut Tree House this 26 September

Join us this September for Night to Remember – a beautiful evening walk along the Worthing seafront to remember, celebrate and support children's hospice care.

For the first time, we're delighted to extend this much-loved event, which has been raising funds for our adult hospice St Barnabas House for many years, to our wonderful Chestnut Tree House community. Join supporters from across St Barnabas and Martlets and help us make this year's walk bigger than ever!

Together, you'll help us keep caring for children and families who know they don't have long together.

Your Night to Remember fundraising helps us keep caring for families like Millie's

At 17, Millie and her family received some devastating news – Millie had a brain tumour. The cancer treatment was tough, but at Chestnut Tree House she was able to be a teenager again rather than a patient.

With the help of supporters like you, Millie and her family had the chance to make precious memories together, and Millie could face the end of her life on her own terms – with extraordinary courage.
