St Barnabas House is the hospice for the Worthing, Adur, Arun and Henfield areas. Thanks to support from the local community, adults with terminal illnesses and their loved ones can live life as fully as possible, for the time they have left together.

Specialist care is provided in people’s own homes across the area, as well as in the hospice building in Worthing. For some, this might mean regular day visits to the hospice for social activities, physiotherapy, complementary therapy, exercise classes, spiritual support or counselling. Others might need to stay overnight for help managing complex physical symptoms, with a third of patients returning home more comfortable and relaxed after a short stay.

This same level of care reaches into people’s homes, care homes and local hospitals with a wide range of caring professionals providing support out in the community.

And, when the time comes, St Barnabas House is there to support people at the end of their life so that they can die with dignity in a warm and caring environment of their choice.

The care of St Barnabas doesn’t stop here, with families offered ongoing bereavement support and opportunities to come together at remembrance events.

It is thanks to the generosity of the local community that all of this is possible. It costs nearly £9 million every year to provide hospice care for local people. Most of this comes from fundraising, gifts in wills, shops, the St Barnabas House lottery and volunteering

If you raise the minimum £450 (10,000ft) or £550 (15,000ft) in sponsorship then you can jump for free! This covers the remaining cost of the jump (£184 for 10,000ft and £253 for 15,000ft) and the remaining £266 from 10,000ft sponsorship or £297 from 15,000ft sponsorship comes straight to St Barnabas House. Everything you raise above £450/£550 will also come directly to St Barnabas House. We can’t think of a better reason to have the experience of a lifetime, whilst raising vital funds for your local adult’s hospice!
