Offering practical, social and spiritual support throughout each child’s life, Chestnut Tree House relies on the generosity of local communities to provide hospice care for local children and their families.
Stephen Dumville, contract sales manager at Everyone Active is running the initiative across the centres. He said: “We are thrilled to be supporting Chestnut Tree House again as we help young children and their families have a magical Christmas despite their circumstances.
“We know the local communities of Chichester and Crawley will be fully behind this initiative as we play our part in supporting this truly amazing cause.”
