Welcome to

The Sussex Snowdrop Trust's website


We are a unique charity offering 'Care at Home' for local children who have a life threatening illness or who may be terminally ill.

Based in the Chichester area of West Sussex,

The Sussex Snowdrop Trust provides:

  • Care at Home by Children's Community Nurses & Nurse Support Workers
  • Emotional support which is met by Snowdrop Counsellors

  • Financial help for families coping with the day-to-day problems of caring for a very sick child

  • Surprisingly, very few children in this country have this choice.
     

    The Charity works hand-in-hand with the West Sussex Primary Care Trust. Historically, when the Charity was founded, Nurses from the local NHS hospital were paid by Snowdrop to provide Care At Home for local children.

    When funds became available, the Charity was able to pay for the first Snowdrop Children's Nurse and, as you will read on subsequent pages, the Team has now grown considerably. The whole of the Snowdrop Care At Home Team continue to be led by Dr. Ann Wallace and come under the umbrella of the NHS Children's Services.
