Shooting Star Children's Hospices

Our specialist care and support is available 365 days a year

We care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months, or years, we’re here to make every moment count.

We support families across Surrey, south west and north west London

From diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement, we’re here for the families we support with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care.

It costs £10 million a year to run Shooting Star Children's Hospices

Just 30% of our funding comes from the government, so we rely on our supporters’ generosity to keep the service running.

Dylan James' Story

“It’s amazing how the worst time of your life becomes such a treasured memory and it’s Shooting Star Children’s Hospices that made that possible. I can’t put into words how much of a lifeline they’ve been.”
