Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice operates throughout East and West Sussex and South East Hampshire to give children with life-shortening conditions and their families care, support, quality time and most importantly – fun.

Our specialist palliative care services include:

• Short breaks, crisis care and end-of-life care services 24 hours a day, provided at Chestnut Tree House.
• Short breaks in community settings (in children’s own homes) including emergency care, symptom management and end-of-life care services 24 hours a day, provided by a dedicated Community Team.
• Assessment of needs, advice, information and support for the entire family following diagnosis by the multi-disciplinary team at Chestnut Tree House.
• Pre and post bereavement support which includes befriending, family counselling, child and young people’s psychotherapy and spiritual care.
• Specialist services for neonates, family activities for siblings, grandparents and whole family events.
• Care for families after the unexpected death of a child or young person, including use of our ‘Stars’ bereavement suite where we look after children after they have died.
• Education and support about end-of-life services and palliative care for the paediatric services across Sussex and South East Hampshire.

Our aim is to make every day count. The good days, the bad days and the last days.
