Our care

We’re here to make sure that children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families get all the care and support they need.

We’ll take some of the stresses away from your everyday life, so you can focus on making precious memories together as a family. From offering help in your own home to activity days and short breaks at the hospice, we provide specialist care while allowing kids to be kids and mums and dads to be just that. Whatever your journey looks like, our team are here to support your family through the good days, the bad days and the last days in whatever way feels right for you.

Who do we offer care to?

Our services are here for children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions aged from birth to 25, as well as their siblings and parents. We’re able to care for families living in West Sussex, East Sussex, Brighton & Hove and South East Hampshire.
