For families of children who are unlikely to reach adulthood Now is precious moments that give a lifetime of memories, the chance to be a parent for a few hours, rather than a carer, and the opportunity for kids to just be kids, to do all the things that kids their age should do. Now is all about exploring, creating, enjoying and treasuring.

Chestnut Tree House supporters help families live For the Now. You provide a hand that reassures, a hug that comforts, a safe port in a sea of life-changing diagnoses and round the clock care.

And whilst doing all of these you are creating your own Now moments: the high of doing something important, something that you didn’t think you could do; making your own memories whilst making a difference.

Chestnut Tree House wants to celebrate all these Nows, and help create thousands more.
