Night to Remember raises £68,493 for St Barnabas House!

A team of eight nurses and healthcare assistants from St Barnabas House were among the walkers. Nurse Theresa Tholanah (pictured above left) said: “It means a lot to me to walk alongside families and supporters tonight. Sometimes when we’re caring for them, people see the uniform and think that we’re different from them somehow. And of course we are professionals, but I want them to know that we’re people too. I have also lost loved ones and I know how hard it is.”

Chief Operating Officer Becki Jupp, took part in Night to Remember with her family, (pictured above) said: “It costs nearly £10m each year to provide loving hospice care at St Barnabas, with only 22 per cent coming from the government. For the rest, we rely on the generosity of our local community. It’s always humbling to see so many people walking for St Barnabas and we want to thank every one of them, plus our team of volunteers, for making this such an incredible night.”

About our services

St Barnabas House, which last year celebrated its 50th anniversary, provides care to people in the Worthing, Adur, Arun and Henfield areas. Care extends far beyond the hospice walls, with nurses visiting patients and families at home as well as sharing their expertise with GPs, care homes and local hospitals so that anyone facing life-limiting illness receives the care and support they deserve.

There are also opportunities for patients to meet others who are on a similar journey. They can take part in a range of activities from relaxation and exercise classes to gardening, art, cooking, and talking groups – helping them to live well for longer. Find out about our Living Well service.
