St Peter and St James Hospice has been in the heart of Mid Sussex since 1975, covering the communities of Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Uckfield and surrounding villages. It provides over 200 people and their families a year with specialist palliative care.
Burgess Hill District Lions have supported the St Peter and St James Hospice for many years and the Burgess Hill Bike Ride has had the Hospice as its primary fundraising goal for a long time. Many of the Lions and their families have had to use the services of the hospice and it is a worthy recipient of our support.
