About Shooting Star Children's Hospices
Specialist support surrounds families from the moment of diagnosis through to bereavement. Children with life limiting conditions find a safe space for respite, medical care, and emotional connection. This dedicated environment lifts the weight off shoulders, allowing parents to focus on making memories with their superstars.
Around seven hundred families across London and Surrey rely on these essential support networks every single day. Only a small fraction of the £12 million needed annually comes from government funding. This community focused charity ensures that every child experiences moments of pure happiness, regardless of how many days or years they have.
