Over 150 colleagues from the Cobham and Dartford offices of
Willmott Dixon Construction will be taking part in the 2017 Cobham Challenge –
Forest 500! This year we will be raising funds to support Chestnut Tree House.
This is the only children's hospice in East and West Sussex and cares for over
280 children and young adults from 0-25 years of age with progressive
life-limiting conditions from Sussex and South East Hampshire. There are
potentially 1,000 families with life-limited children in Sussex. Chestnut Tree
House offers support for the whole family including psychological and
bereavement support, end of life and short break care and sibling support.
