How you’re helping

By buying an owl at our Auction, not only will you be owning a completely unique piece of art you’ll also be doing something wonderful for children’s hospice care, as all proceeds will go to Chestnut Tree House.

Here at Chestnut Tree House kids can be astronauts for the day in the multi-sensory room, discover creepy crawlies on a woodland walk, or form their very own pop group in the music room. It is a place where parents can just be parents, and not carers, and where siblings have people to talk to who understand.
