- Shooting Star Children’s Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families.
- We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional, and medical care.
- Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, we’re here to make every moment count.
- Our bespoke support is free of charge to families and includes a comprehensive range of therapies and support groups for the whole family, specialist nursing care and respite, symptom management, end-of-life care and bereavement support. We have 2 hospices, one in Guildford, the other in Hampton.
- We support 700 families living throughout Surrey and across 15 London boroughs.
- It costs £8.8 million a year to maintain our current level of care, and with only a small percentage of income coming from central government and statutory funding, we rely on our supporters’ generosity to keep our vital service running.
