We’re seeing a few glimpses of Spring this week at the hospice. 🌼

Pink blossoms are appearing on some of the trees, and miniature narcissi have popped up across the site – including all around our water fountain welcoming visitors with a burst of yellow.

We are lucky to be surrounded by beautiful gardens and patients have access to their own private, accessible gardens too.

It’s lovely to see a little bit of colour reappearing. And with two ducks on the pond, Spring really can’t be far away 🌸

An important update on our services...

Following years of increased demand, rising costs and funding that hasn’t kept pace with inflation, like many hospices across the UK we’re operating at an unsustainable financial deficit.

We need to make some difficult decisions now to ensure our long-term financial sustainability, and today, after a detailed review of our clinical offering, we’ve proposed some changes to our services to colleagues. This means that the services we offer to our patients and families at Chestnut Tree House, Martlets Hospice and St Barnabas House may soon look different.

The proposals are subject to change throughout the consultation, so we’re not able to share more detail yet, but our patients and families remain our priority at this time. We’ll write directly to patients and families where any confirmed changes relate to their care.

We’d like to thank our incredible communities and supporters for their understanding at this difficult time.

This Valentine’s Day, we are sharing stories of love.

Here, Helen shares some memories of her husband Adrian, who was cared for by St Barnabas House.

“During his illness we wanted to make as many memories as we could, and Adrian captured much of this on his much-loved camera. After the pandemic we bought a motorhome and travelled the country – even going to superbike races at Brands Hatch, another of Adrian’s passions. Travel can be intimidating when you’re unwell, but St Barnabas gave us plenty of useful advice that helped us to continue making memories.”

If you’d like to share your own memories of someone you love and miss, visit our ‘Forever Loved. Always Remembered’ page to make a dedication.

We’re so proud to share that our film ‘We’re here for you. Will you be here for us?’ has been named a finalist in the ! 🎉🎬

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for us. This was the first time we created a joint film with our sister hospice Martlets Hospice, and it follows the story of Marc — a hospice patient whose voice reflects not only the compassion and comfort palliative care brings, but also the fear felt by people across the country who worry this support may not be there when they need it most.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve made it to the final. We’re keeping everything crossed! 🤞

And a huge well done to everyone involved — especially Marc — for helping us share this powerful story and keep campaigning for hospice care 🌻

This week we’ve been picking up the phones to say thank you to the amazing people who supported our winter appeal.

We’re saying a huge thank you to everyone who donated - and calling as many of you as possible – because we want you to know how much we appreciate you.

As we face a nationwide hospice funding crisis, your generosity means we can keep on caring for families across Worthing and the surrounding area.

Thank you 💙

We want to say a huge ✨ thank you ✨ to everyone who supported our winter appeal.

Between you, you've raised over £310,000 for us and our sister hospices Martlets Hospice and Chestnut Tree House. That’s an amazing amount for local people who need hospice care.

Whether you donated, helped spread the word or supported in another way, we're so grateful – and this week we’re picking up the phones to let you know that.

Every gift helps us provide compassionate care when it matters most and, as hospices nationwide face a funding crisis, your support means more than ever.

Thank you for being here for us 💙
