Business Awards for supporters of children’s hospice


The awards recognise and celebrate the many Sussex businesses and their employees who support us.
Hundreds of businesses have raised thousands of pounds to help us run the only children’s hospice in the county over the past 11 years and we want to thank them and give something back.

Hide AdSo, we are inviting businesses to nominate themselves or name individuals in their organisations who have put in extraordinary effort to raise funds to help us.
It costs a £6,850 per day to provide all our care services for children with life-shortening illnesses and their families.
We are caring for more children than ever before and care costs are increasing. We receive less than 8% of our funding from central government, and so are almost entirely dependent on the generosity of local businesses and individuals across Sussex to support us and help cover our costs.
The awards ceremony takes place on Thursday 12 March, with categories including Fundraising Team of the Year, Most Innovative Fundraising Idea and Outstanding Voluntary Project.
