he Olive Tree charity, situated in Crawley Hospital on West Green Drive, opened in January 2004 to offer support to cancer patients and their families.
But, the lifeline, which helps hundreds of children and adults, could be cruelly ripped away after West Sussex PCT bosses claimed they needed more space to park cars.
It is thought new community hospitals boss, Clare Loft, who is yet to start work, will get the final say on whether the unit is concreted over and moved to a new hospital location or kicked off the West Green site entirely.
Pam Barker chair of trustees at the Olive Tree said the organisation, which has 12 new referrals a month, would fight any move.
She said: "There's going to be a head of community hospitals and we're waiting until she's there to find out what's going on. But their plan is to pull down the building to make space for a new car park.
"We have been told that it's imminent but we haven't been given a definite date, everything is up in the air at the moment. But we would just like to stay where we are.
"We were hoping to expand to create two units – that's in an ideal world. Instead we're left facing an uncertain future."
The charity chief explained that if the new hospital boss said 'no' to the Olive Tree they would be left searching for new and very expensive premises.
