St Peter & St James Hospice is a charity that supports people with a range of life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and carers in the heart of Sussex. The hospice building houses a 23-bed palliative care inpatient unit, a Wellbeing Centre and family & carer services. It also provides a base for the community nursing team, clinical admin team, and administrative and fundraising staff.<\/p>\n

The need<\/h3>\n

Once St Peter & St James Hospice applied to CRASH for assistance, CRASH visited the charity with Corporate Patrons Arcadis and Maylim, who undertook a health and safety audit of the terraces and access paths around the hospice and gardens.<\/p>\n

The CRASH solution<\/h3>\n

Following our report, plans were drawn up to develop areas of the hospice grounds to make them more accessible for patients.<\/p>\n

How CRASH Corporate Patrons helped<\/h3>\n

CRASH called upon Corporate Patrons Hanson, A-Plant, VolkerFitzpatrick and Buildbase, along with Marshalls who responded by generously donating the plant and construction products to create a safer and more user-friendly paved area around the Hospice building.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
