Rockinghorse is a Brightonbased charity which has been supporting children in Sussex for over 45 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. The charity is the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital and also supports the Trevor Mann Baby Unit. They raise money for life-saving and cuttingedge medical equipment, while ensuring that children are treated in an environment that is better suited to their needs. They do not receive any government funding and so rely entirely on the generous support from individuals, companies and events like Best of British. 51
