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. They support families from diagnosis, to end of life and throughout bereavement, with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care. They currently care for 700 children and their families across London and Surrey.

It costs £8.8 million a year just to maintain their current level of care, and with just a small percentage of this coming from government funding, they rely on the generosity of their supporters to keep the service running. Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, they make every moment count.
