Providing expert care while helping children with life-limiting conditions and their families create magical memories.
About us
Shooting Star Children's Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families, in Surrey and London. Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, we are here to make every moment count. We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care. Our bespoke support is free of charge to families and is available 365 days a year. Our care service includes short breaks at our two hospices (Shooting Star House in Hampton and Christopher’s in Guildford), support at home, day care, symptom management, end-of-life care, bereavement care and a comprehensive range of therapies and support groups for the whole family. It costs £8 million a year just to maintain our current level of care. Very little of that income comes from central government funding, so we rely on our supporters’ generosity to keep the service running. What’s more, we know there are many more families desperate for our vital support, so it’s crucial we raise more funds to provide more care.

Thank you so much to the team from Eli Lilly and Company UK & Ireland for volunteering at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices as part of their Day of Service. It was brilliant to host our trustee Swati S. and her colleagues, who rolled their sleeves up and got their hands dirty in the gardens at Christopher’s.
