We provide Children's Community Nurses to children with life threatening illnesses

Story

Join in this summer‘s challenge to help local children who have a life threatening or terminal illness by fundraising for The Sussex Snowdrop Trust.

The Trust was set up, as it became clear that when a child is faced with such an illness;

Families wanted a nurse to visit them at home and support them.

Teach them how to look after their child and to give them the confidence to do so.

To be able to talk about the diagnosis, prognosis, medication, treatment etc. with a nurse who knows them and their child, who is qualified in caring for children with such serious illnesses.

The aim of the charity is to provide specialist nursing care from the Snowdrop Care at Home team, which includes community
paediatric nurses, a very experienced Counsellor and Nurse Support workers.

Most children live to adulthood but sadly sometimes the treatment fails, and children become terminally ill.

Nearly all children who become terminally ill, since Snowdrop was founded in 1993, have been at home, surrounded by their family. The exceptional Snowdrop nurses and sometimes our Counsellor are with them every step of this very difficult and heart-breaking journey.

Please help us raise funds during this pandemic as so many community events have been cancelled.

It's easy to take part:

Donate a suggested minimum of £2 per person or sponsor someone you nominate. If you can donate more that would be amazing but we want everyone to be able to take part.

Share your skipping video or picture on The Sussex Snowdrop Trust facebook or Instagram page. Say - “ I am taking part in the Skip4Snowdrop challenge and I nominate .............” Use the hashtag #Skip4Snowdrop on your post.

Then nominate a friend by tagging them in!

Let's see how far our fundraising and nominations can reach.

Skip for 10secs or 10 mins or just skip for fun!

Skip on your own, with friends or with your family.

Get competitive and perhaps set a target for the person you nominate?

Do it in the house, in the garden, on the street - wherever!

Do it for the kids that need our help.
