St Peter & St James Hospice hope to raise £50,000

This is a new campaign to mark its 50th anniversary.

The hospice provides expert care to adults with life-limiting illnesses, as well as supporting relatives and close friends in areas including Uckfield, Lewes & Haywards Heath.

The charity is running a 50-year campaign to mark this milestone within the local community including; thank you events and awareness-raising activities, as well as aiming to raise £50,000 through community group fundraisers, the big £50 individual donation appeal, corporate support campaigns and the 50 for £50k club for trustees, patrons and major donors.

The hospice is in North Common Road, North Chailey, and the site was first developed by Susan Dinnage as a nursing home. It was created in memory of Susan’s husband and local farmer Jim Dinnage who died in 1963, as well as their son, Peter, who died in childhood of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 1957.
