Two Trustees

About us

Southern Hospice Group provides essential palliative and end-of-life care for individuals and their families. The Group originally consisted of two Sussex hospices – Chestnut Tree House (a nurse led children’s hospice based in Arundel) and St Barnabas House (an adult hospice based in Worthing). However, following our recent merger with Martlets (an adult hospice based in Brighton & Hove), together with Martlets Care, a subsidiary Domiciliary Care Agency, we are now the largest group of hospices in Sussex and one of the largest group of hospices in the UK
