Shop Manager, Helen Smith, has been with the shop since
it opened last February and said, “It’s more than a shop,
it’s a community hub where local people and visitors to
the City come back again and again. We’ve got an amazing
team of volunteers and generous supporters and this
was a wonderful opportunity for us to say thank you to
everyone”.
Hayley Williams, the charity’s Retail Area Manager, said:
“Since the shop opened in February 2015, nearly 25,000
items have been sold and over 70 bags of donations are
made per week to the shop. We’d really like to thank the
local community for their kind generosity and support”.
Since opening, the shop has generated enough income to
give 150 children the chance to visit Chestnut Tree House
hospice for a day and enjoy the
facilities and a range of activities

Worthing Chestnut Tree House Shop
A message from Jan Harper, Head of Retail: “It is with regret that I am
informing you that we have recently moved out of our Chestnut Tree
House shop in Montague Street Worthing.
Unfortunately our lease on the premises expired at the end of February
and we were unfortunately unable to negotiate a new lease with the
Landlords due to a significant increase in rent.
I am delighted to announce that the fantastic Bridal Department that
Shop Manager Linda Abraham and her team put so much effort into has
been relocated to the first floor at our St Barnabas Shop in Rowlands
Road, Worthing and will be opening on Wednesday 2 March.
The teams at Rowlands Road and Montague Street have been very busy during the move, and have been
helped out by the Van drivers along with all the team from the Warehouse. I would like to thank everyone
involved for their hard work during this time.
I am very grateful to volunteers, staff and customers who supported the shop on Montague Street. Looking
ahead, we are actively looking for new shop premises in Worthing and we are optimistic that we can find one
that is even better.
Linda and her team look forward to welcoming customers to the newly relocated Bridal Department at the
Rowlands Road shop.”
VOLUNTEER CELEBRATION
EVENTS FOR 2016
Over the past few years, some of our wonderful St Barnabas and Chestnut Tree House
volunteers have enjoyed the annual event for volunteers at the Charmandean Centre in
Worthing. This year we are making some changes and holding a range of different new events
for volunteers to maximise attendance and offer choice.
If you are a volunteer for Chestnut Tree House – at the hospice,
in our shops, fundraising or CTH Friends Groups – you will
receive an invitation to a choice of gatherings held on different
dates at the end of May/early June. These will be in different locations - at Chestnut Tree House, in Chichester
and in Eastbourne. We hope that a date and location will be convenient for you. The purpose of the CTH
volunteer events is to say thank you, to celebrate the contribution of volunteers to our children’s hospice, to
present some long-service badges and to talk about future plans for Chestnut Tree House. Invitations will be
sent after Easter to all CTH volunteers and shop sites and below are the confirmed dates for CTH volunteer
events in 2016.
Eastbourne – Cumberland Hotel – Thursday 26 May at 6pm-8pm
Chestnut Tree House
Chichester – The Fishbourne Centre, Blackboy Lane, Fishbourne – Thursday 2 June 6pm-8pm
Chestnut Tree House – Tuesday 14 June, three events at 3pm or 4.30pm or 6pm (guests choose)
Can you
believe
we have
been in our new building on Titnore Lane for five
years?! To celebrate this milestone and to recognise
all that you do for us as a volunteer for St Barnabas
House, we would like to invite you to the hospice
to say ‘thank you’ and share our new plans for St
Barnabas House over the next 5 years.
St Barnabas House
reach many more people in our community – there
will be a short presentation and an opportunity to
ask questions relating to this. We will present some
long service badges, there will be refreshments
available and time for you to meet and chat to other
fellow volunteers and staff. We also expect that our
new Chairman, Derwyn Jones, and other Trustees
will be able to attend some of the events to meet
volunteers.
St Barnabas House volunteers – at the hospice, in
our care services, Community Companions, in our
shops, fundraising or STB Friends Groups – will all
be invited to a choice of gatherings over the summer
at the hospice. We expect to offer at least six dates
on various days and at different times to maximise
attendance - each event will be for around 50
volunteers and will be informal style.
We appreciate that many of you have enjoyed
the annual Volunteer Celebration Evening at the
Charmandean but this year we wanted to reach as
many of you as possible with a different kind of event
- you are all important ambassadors for the hospice.
We really do value your contribution and feel this
is great way for us all to go forward together and
strive to make St Barnabas House care services
accessible to many more people who could benefit
from our care and support. We do hope you can
join us to celebrate your voluntary contribution and
how you enable us to give such excellent care and
face the future with such ambitious goals.
I can hear you thinking, what does this look like,
why should I go? The hospice is about to launch an
ambitious range of new services: we would like to
share our plans for the future and how we aim to
You will receive an invitation letter from Voluntary Services with a list
of the dates for each hospice. Chestnut Tree House volunteers will
receive this during April and St Barnabas House invites will go out
during May. Those who volunteer for both hospices, will receive both invitations. You will be asked to
inform Voluntary Services of your choice of event. We hope that many of you will take this opportunity to
visit the hospice that you so passionately support.

Introducing our new
HR Director
Here Gillian Brennan, HR Director for St Barnabas House and
Chestnut Tree House, talks about her first month in her new role.
“Hi, I am Gillian Brennan and I am
nearing the end of my first four
weeks. Being new to the world
of hospices and charity, I have
been bowled over by everyone’s
patience and willingness to
share with me about their roles
and what it is like to work for
St Barnabas and Chestnut Tree
House.
I was thrilled to have been offered
this role and put in charge of all
things to do with people and
I have been so warmed
by the welcome I have
received from you and
am looking forward
to getting down to
some real work now
that my induction is
nearing completion.
I have not yet met
everyone and being
a bit pathetic around
blood I am slightly
anxious about visiting the
clinical teams, but I have
been offered a ward round
so hopefully I will meet more of
you soon. I am also hoping to stay
into the evening to meet those of
you who are on late shift.
I have been out and about to some
of our wonderful charity shops
and now sport a set of fabulous
beads and scarf I bought along the
way! I have also been talking with
our volunteers and again have
been amazed at just how many of
you offer your time in so many
different areas of the organisation,
and I must say the cakes in our
coffee shops are irresistible!
I have received a lot of
constructive feedback, and I have
been taking on board both the
good and bad points that have
been raised. This has been very
helpful and I will continue to listen
to what you think and what we
can do to support you further.
Points raised include the fact
that HR Select is not working for
support we will soon be making a
difference.
I have had a lot of experience
working in people teams across
Training and Development,
Reward, Recruitment and Process
Administration and I have also
worked a stint in Facilities. I left
Virgin Holidays in January this year,
having worked there for 10 years.
I have also been lucky enough
to work in Guernsey where
I was Director of HR
for Specsavers and
prior to that I lived in
Johannesburg working
for Deloitte in the
Audit Division focusing
on supporting young
black students through
university and their
graduate scheme
placements. Originally I
had started life as a High
School Teacher having
always wanted to work
with young people but this
morphed in to loving working
with people.
everyone and that working out
annual leave can be a difficult task.
I also know it’s not easy to find
our forms and policies, and things
take too long to wend their way
through the various processes.
With these and your other
feedback in mind I will be working
with my team to look at how we
can improve the situation. I think
there is a challenge ahead of me
but I love a challenge and I know
if I continue to get your honest
feedback alongside your offers of
I passionately believe good
people are at the heart of good
organisations and that my role
is to support the business
through good people strategies
and concrete measurable goals
and plans. My role is to ensure
we have the right people (both
staff and volunteers), in the right
roles, who with the right support
guidance and development are
in the centre of delivering the
incredible care I see round me
today.”

Thank you Jackie!

A big thank you to one of our Durrington shop
volunteers, Jackie Caswell, who has been helping out
at the shop for over 13 years. Jackie has recently
renovated a dolls house to sell in the shop to raise
funds for St Barnabas House. Head of Retail, Jan Harper
said: “We’d get nowhere without our amazing teams
of volunteers both in the shops and in our warehouse.
This is a great example of the ingenuity and skills they
bring. Many thanks to Jackie and to all of our retail
volunteers”.
Our Uckfiel d Shop has a new look!
Our Uckfield shop’s retail contribution to Chestnut Tree House
has doubled in the last year and to keep the momentum going
we have put up a new sign to bring the shop into line with all of
our other Chestnut Tree House shops. Why not pop along to
Uckfield High Street and have a look. The shop stocks a variety
of ladies and gents clothing, from top high street designers to
items from most of the usual high street shops.There’s also
bric a brac and toys, all beautifully displayed on hand painted
upcycled furniture. Angie and her team display everything in
a colour co-ordinated way, making it easy to find that special
outfit, plus the accessories to go with it!

News from Brighton and Hove’s fundraising frontier!
Pictured below right, Georgie Goddard, Chestnut Tree House
Community Fundraiser for Brighton and Hove, is celebrating
her first year in the team. Here she shares a few insights
and anecdotes about her endeavours so far, and some of the
wonderful fundraisers she has met along the way, including the
amazing “Mermamas”. Read on to find out more…
“Since joining the team in February 2015, no two days have
been the same! Just a year into this role, working for this
amazing organisation, I am forever bowled-over by people’s
generosity, enthusiasm and passion in helping us to raise vital
funds for the children we support. I have also been amazed by
the variety of innovative ideas that people come up with to
raise money. Seldom has a day gone by without an individual or
group contacting us with their fundraising ideas. There is much
camaraderie and friendly competing among our team to get
involved with the more extravagant and exciting fundraising ideas that come our way.
So when a group of passionate young mums contacted me to say they were training for a challenging cross
channel swim relay in the summer of 2015 I was absolutely delighted. The group of daring swimmers are Lou
Murie, Cindy kay, Rebecca Habba,Victoria Nixon, Caroline Casswell, Jo Phillimore,
and reserve swimmer / support merman Jon Kay. Jon shared
with me their training schedule (which looked, frankly, pretty
gruelling, bearing in mind all the women have demanding
jobs and young children), and some of the other innovative
fundraising ideas they had up their sleeves involving school
events in Brighton and Hove .
Prior to the swim some of the Mermamas were given the
opportunity to visit Chestnut Tree House. They said the visit
and in-depth knowledge about the hospice really helped to
keep them motivated through the cold, all weather swimmingtraining, and the thought of jellyfish infested waters! It was
touching indeed to meet the team and to see the support and
friendship they offered each other.
Following their amazing swim on a wet,
grey October day they have raised a
huge amount of money – just under £18,000 – enough to pay for over 60 hours of
all our care services, both at the House and in families’ own homes. They have also
helped to raise awareness of Chestnut Tree House. Now when I visit schools in the
city, invariably a child tells me that they know about our
work because of the Mermamas or a small hand will be
raised in an assembly to tell me proudly that their mum is
a Mermama.
I feel very privileged to have met these amazing women,
and the many other wonderful and inspiring fundraisers
from Brighton and Hove who approach Chestnut Tree
House wanting to support us. It is really amazing to
help them to achieve their goals, and I would like to

Photo Friday for non-Facebookers
Here are some of the staff and volunteers who have featured on Facebook in the last few weeks
John Bellamy has been a
Community Fundraising
Volunteer at Chestnut Tree
for a year.
Claire Dinning has been
Bank Care Support
Worker at Chestnut Tree
for a year and a half.
“I started working at Chestnut
Tree House to gain experience
for my student nursing course.
It’s such a nice place to work,
meeting all the different
children and coming up with
fun activities.”
Jo Hill has been a
Fundraising Volunteer
at Chestnut Tree for 12
Years.
“ I just love coming to Chestnut
Tree House and doing what I
can to help. I feel so proud when
I see what has been achieved.
It’s all just so worthwhile.”
Dennis Say has been a
Garden Volunteer at St Bs
for ten months.
“I love the camaraderie here. I
always come up on a Thursday
and get to meet new people
who I wouldn’t have known
otherwise. It’s a great friendly
team here. People get the wrong
perception that because it’s a
hospice it’s depressing, but it’s a
great atmosphere.”
“ Variety is the spice of life!
This role incorporates such a
diverse range of activities, and
brings with it a real sense of
contribution to the Community
Fundraising effort.”
Jayne Barker is a
Registered, General and
Mental Health Nurse.
Shas been Staff Nurse at
St Barnabas for a year in
the Day Hospice and IPU.
“I was working in dementia but
I wanted to work in an area
where I could use both of my
qualifications. The best thing
about working here is the high
level of input you can give to
the patients. We have a really
strong and supportive team as
well.”
Maura Foster has been a
Volunteer at St Barnabas
for an incredible 21
years. Every week she
does a shift in the coffee
shop, Day Hospice and
Finance Office.
“The thing I always say to
people when they ask why I do
this is, you get far more out of it
than you put in.”

In Action...
Meet Volunteer
Andy Thornton...
“I became a volunteer for Chestnut Tree
and St Barnabas really by chance. I used
to accompany my wife at CTH fundraising
events, and became aware how hard
the fundraisers work to raise the funds
needed to look after these desperately ill
children.
I used to work in the aircraft industry
and flew and maintained a private jet, for a
very wealthy Middle Eastern family. It made me
realise how little individuals seem to ‘put back’
into society for the greater good of all, without
looking for some personal financial gain. So
when I retired two years ago, I decided that if I
could do nothing else I would give up my time
and help any way I could.
I let the hospice know I was available for
whatever task they needed help with, and in
the last 2 years I have manufactured tombola
drums, lollipop holders and taken on the role
of Collection tin Co-ordinator and deliver
fundraising materials to supporters.
I am also very proud, and relieved, that my
bathtub raft stayed afloat with the CTH team
aboard, at the Arun Bath Tub Race a couple of
years ago!
I have now met many like-minded people at
all the fundraising events I have helped at, and
it is evident that without the volunteers help,
neither CTH or STB would be able to give the
level of care it does to its patients.
It is a good feeling to know that by
volunteering we have saved the organisation
money which is better spent elsewhere and I
feel privileged to be able to give something to
such a worthwhile charity and I love wearing
my bright yellow t-shirt!”

South Downs Trek Volunteers
Gantry Volunteers Eric and Neil pictured below at
the South Downs Trek for St Barnabas House in
October 2015. Pictured right: Eric Roberts is 54 from
Southwick. His wife sadly passed away 18 months
ago at St Barnabas, and his mother was also cared
for by the hospice. He wanted to volunteer to
repay an “unpayable” debt to the hospice and said
that the volunteering gives him something really
worthwhile to do with his time and gives him
something positive to focus on. Eric said: “The
work St Barnabas does is phenomenal.”
Neil Aspinall is 46 from Worthing. He
volunteers as a way of saying: “Thank you,” to
St Barnabas, for caring for his mother, and for
their amazing help and support.
