Thank you for supporting Southern Hospice Group at the Brighton Marathon 2026. Southern Hospice Group is a local charity made up of three hospices our local communities know, love and support: Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice near Arundel, Martlets in Hove and St Barnabas House in Worthing. Together, we support children, young people and adults who have life-limiting conditions. We help those we care for, and their loved ones, to make the most of the precious time they have left together. Our expert palliative services support local communities across Sussex and South East Hampshire – at our hospices and in people’s homes.

Most people receive care from us in their own homes. Others choose to spend their final days at one of our sites – how does the money you raise make a difference?

💛 At Chestnut Tree House, during 2023-2024, we directly helped 293 children and young people.

💙 At St Barnabas, during 2023-2024, we directly helped 1,544 local people affected by life-limiting illnesses

🩷At Martlets, during 2023-2024, we directly helped 2,218 local people affected by life-limiting

All our support is free thanks to the generosity of local people, businesses, and trusts. An NHS grant covers a portion of our costs, but we rely on the community to fund most of our vital services. Whether someone is living with terminal cancer, end-stage heart disease , or neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or Motor Neurone Disease - we’re here to help patients and their loved ones live life to the full.
