KHT sources donated kit from leading AV suppliers to deliver the best movie experience
AV specialist Kensington Home Technology (KHT) has, today, announced the installation of a state-of-the-art cinema room at Chestnut Tree House, Sussex’s only children’s hospice.
Chestnut Tree House cares for over 280 children and young adults from 0-25 years of age with progressive life-limiting conditions from Sussex and South East Hampshire. The hospice’s goal is to provide the best quality of life for children, young people and their families, and to offer a total package of practical, social and spiritual support throughout each child's life, however short it may be.
KHT donated its time to install the new cinema room, as well as providing essential cables and networking equipment. In addition, KHT – working with Ian Morrish of ISE - sourced product donations from numerous pioneering AV brands and suppliers* to ensure the highest quality cinema room for young people and their families.

Iain Brown, co-founder of KHT, commented, “I visited Chestnut Tree House hospice earlier this year and was moved by all the positivity, energy and resources that were being put in to give the children the best time possible. All our suppliers were really keen to donate products; I did not receive any negative responses. My installers worked long hours over a few days to turn the project around and I am grateful for their hard work and dedication. We are confident the finished solution will give the children, their families and carers great movie experiences for years to come.”
Sarah Arnold, Corporate Fundraising Manager for Chestnut Tree House , said, “We would like to say a huge thank you to KHT and their suppliers for giving us such a wonderful cinema room for the children. Taking a sick child to the cinema is extremely difficult and so brothers and sisters often miss out too. This fantastic new equipment will mean that children and families staying with us can enjoy the simple pleasure of going to the cinema that most of us take for granted within the comfortable and caring environment of Chestnut Tree House.”
