Over 70 people attended the Hove business networking breakfast hosted by Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, which took place on Thursday 26 January at the 1st Central County Ground. Attendees from a large range of local businesses met to learn about the work of the hospice in the community. Guests included representatives from Barclays, Search, Kreston Reeves and Juice 107.2. The 1st Central County Ground, who provided a delicious full cooked breakfast, supported the event. Chestnut Tree House provides care and support to around 300 children with life shortening conditions and their families across Sussex. The vital service relies heavily on the support of the local business community and events like this to continue providing vital care to local children and families. Linda Perry, Director of Children’s Services at Chestnut Tree House said of the event: “It was great to see so many local businesses come along to show their support and find out more about Chestnut Tree House. It’s really important to us to spread the word about the specialist care services we offer, both at the hospice and in families’ own homes. We rely heavily on the support and generosity of local businesses and want to continue to reach out to more children and families across East and West Sussex, and within the Brighton and Hove area.”
