Ways to Support Us

Become a Friend

Join our community of Friends and help us deliver ongoing care and support to families across Sussex.

The Children’s Respite Trust is proud to introduce Friends of the Respite Trust - our regular giving campaign that helps provide vital support to disabled children and their families all year round.

By becoming a Friend of the Respite Trust, you join a special community of compassionate individuals and businesses who give a monthly donation to ensure that families never feel alone in their journey. Your regular gift enables us to plan ahead, provide consistent respite care and make a lasting difference to those who need it most.

Why Regular Giving Matters

Respite care isn’t a one-off service - it’s ongoing support that children and their families rely on. Monthly donations allow us to:

  • Deliver tailored care for children with complex needs
  • Offer a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment at our centre
  • Support families through challenges
  • Expand and improve our services to reach more families

A monthly donation – no matter the size – helps us provide stability and security to families facing some of life’s toughest challenges.

Become a Friend Today

Joining is easy and it only takes a few minutes to set up your regular gift. Whether you’re able to give £5 or £50 a month, your support means the world to the children we care for.
