Our Circle of Friends are people from Worthing, Adur, Arun and Henfield who want to make sure that we are able to care for every person and family who needs our help.

Their regular monthly gifts, paid automatically by their bank, allow us to plan ahead and budget effectively – to employ the nursing staff required to provide all the care our patients need.

And it’s not just the patients who benefit – our Friends do too. By giving smaller, regular gifts, they are able to afford to make a more substantial contribution to our hospice care over the course of a year. It’s an easy and more affordable way to give and a better way to make a bigger difference to the lives of local people.

If you join our Circle of Friends we will thank and recognise your support with regular updates on our work through our newsletter and with a yearly invitation to come into the hospice to meet our team and see directly the benefits that your support has helped us to provide.

How much you give is up to you, but:

• £3 per month could pay for a family member to meet with one of our experienced counsellors and discuss their feelings and emotions.
• £5 per month will help to pay for a crucial home visit to a local patient, where we can help to establish a care plan that will maximise their time at home, with the minimum pain or discomfort.
• £10 per month would help to pay for a patient’s visit to the Day Hospice to receive treatment, discuss their feelings with other patients, or just to enjoy some social activities.
• £15 per month will help pay for a patient’s stay at St Barnabas House, allowing them and their family to receive the very best care and support from our team.
