Help us celebrate 50 years of St Barnabas House

When Dr Francis Gusterson launched an appeal to provide residential care for 30 patients with life-limiting illness in Worthing, it was a huge challenge. The community needed to raise £183,107 to build the hospice, which would become one of the first three dedicated end-of-life facilities in Britain.

St Barnabas House opened in 1973 and fifty years on, the support from our local community has helped care for more than 45,000 local people and their loved ones.
