About us
Our vision
At Rockinghorse Children's Charity, our aim is to improve the lives of sick and disabled children throughout Sussex and Surrey.
Our mission
We are a Brighton-based children’s charity which has been supporting children for over 40 years.
It was set up in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann, who recognised there was a real need for additional resources, to improve healthcare services for sick children and babies.
We are best known today for our work with the new Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital (The Alex) and our continued support of the Trevor Mann Baby Unit in Brighton. However, we also raise money for life-saving medical equipment in a number of local hospitals, as well as providing much-needed sensory play areas for children with disabilities across the region.
We do not receive any government funding and so we rely on the generous support of individuals, community groups, companies and trusts: people like you.
Our people
Rockinghorse is based in Brighton and has a small team of ten staff. We also have a charity shop in Hove.
