Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We at Mishon Mackay are walking the 13miles from our Hurstpierpoint Office to Hove in aid of a wonderful cause, Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice.
Chestnut Tree House is the only children's hospice in Sussex and cares for
children and young adults from 0-19 years of age with progressive life-limiting
and life-threatening illnesses from all over the county.
Completed in 2003, the hospice provides a 'home from home' environment with 10
children's bedrooms plus 8 family rooms, a wet and dry play area, computer and
music rooms, a multi sensory room and hydrotherapy pool. The house is set in
beautiful gardens within an area of outstanding natural beauty.
There are potentially 400 families with life-limited children in Sussex.
Chestnut Tree House offers support for the whole family including psychological
support, care in bereavement therapy, end of life and respite care and sibling
support.
It costs over £2 million per year to provide the services at Chestnut Tree
House. Families are not charged for their care and the hospice receives very
little government funding so it relies almost entirely on the generosity, help
and support of the people of Sussex.
At Mishon Mackay we believe in supporting local charities and hope that you will help us exceed our target.
