Story

After running out of fuel on our way to Mars we have been floating around on a space adventure this past year, but it's time to return to Earth and that's where we need your help. To get home, we need to collect as many stars to power our rocket as we can so we are daring you to join us on one of our star spangled challenges!

By joining our team of space explorers - through our Painshill Planet Walk, Walk over the Moon at the O2 or one of our star-themed at home challenges you are powering us home and to glory!

We are a leading childrens hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. We support families across Surrey and London from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care. It costs over £10 million a year to maintain our current level of care and just 30% of that income comes from government funding, so we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to keep the service running.

About the charity

Shooting Star Children's Hospices is a leading children’s hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, we are here to make every moment count.
