About

This organisation is part of West Sussex County Council's Short Breaks offer. Find out more about Short Breaks.

Our goal is to provide the best quality of life for children and young people with life limiting and life threatening conditions and their families, and to offer practical, social and spiritual support throughout each child's life. 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.

What we do

• Using the hospice for short breaks - full use of specialist facilities for our children and young people to enjoy such as our hydrotherapy pool, sensory room, music room and computer/gaming room. The whole family are welcome to stay too.
• Activities for the whole family, siblings and parents/grandparents including youth group, days out, animal visits, pamper mornings, afternoon teas and date nights.
• Your keyworker can also visit you at home, this usually happens once a month but can vary. How you use this time is up to you.
• Our counsellors and psychotherapists offer counselling and emotional support to children, young people, their siblings and parents. Our social workers can provide practical and emotional support, tailored to the needs of you and your family.
• Our Chaplin can support your emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
