Worthing Hospital is looking to Sussex businesses for help to raise funds for its Children's Centre.

More than £1million has so far been pledged towards the centre and construction work has started on the site near Worthing Hospital.

The centre is now calling on local firms to lead the push to raise £300,000, needed to finish the project.

They would like to hear from companies prepared to second a member of staff to work as a trust and corporate fundraiser for the next year.

Chairman of Worthing and Southlands Hospitals NHS Trust, Stuart Heatherington, said the centre was an excellent example of partnership working.

Executives with a knowledge of funding sources should contact Mr Heatherington on 01903 285764 or Derek Froud on 01903 285262, for more details.
