Chestnut Tree: reaching every child with a life-shortening condition
Ensuring we can reach every child with a life-shortening condition in East Sussex is especially crucial for those facing the end of their life and who want to remain at home with family around them. The Chestnut Tree Community Team can offer 24 hour on-call support, daily visits, symptom control and emotional support for the whole family – all delivered at no cost to the family or NHS.
We work with the child’s own GP and medical/nursing teams to ensure a smooth delivery of care and continuity for the family.

So many people are unaware that this is possible in their own communities and we want to reach out and ensure we are meeting the needs of families across the whole East Sussex area. You can find out more about the work we do on our website chestnut-tree-house.org.uk.
