My Choice Children’s Homes Charity Work

Here at My Choice Children’s Homes, we are committed to charity work, sponsorship and fundraising events. Our passion is supporting children and settings in our local area of Sussex and Surrey.

Part of our mission is to engage and encourage our children to get involved in our charity work and to learn about giving to others in the local community. This provides our children with a real sense of empathy and understanding. We are committed to promoting a Growth Mindset for our children, being part of our charity work helps them care for others and in term this promotes their own wellbeing and development.

We couldn’t be prouder of how so many people have come together to give to our chosen charities. Our children inspire us every day, and in doing this they become part of something so incredible and meaningful.

Here’s some of our recent charity and sponsorship work:

  • We are proud sponsors of three local football clubs – Barns Green Youth Football Club, Burgess Hill Youth football club and Littlehampton Youth Football Club

  • Since 2020, we have supported Chestnut Tree House hospice and have to date donated 620 gifts and £1172.33 to this worthy cause.

  • An Easter Egg hunt and summer bake sale for Macmillian Cancer Support
  • Pre prom Party in May, Queen’s Jubilee event in June, American Independence Day in July and Family Fun Day in August – all to raise funds for Chestnut Tree House.
