Shooting Star was nominated as our local charity by the boys and staff at the RGS at the beginning of this academic year. Whilst we cannot hold our planned charity run to raise funds, we can still make a difference together, wherever we are. 

At Shooting Star Childrens Hospices we provide vital care for babies, children and young people, with a life-limiting condition and offer invaluable support to their whole family. As well as respite care and lots of activities for the children to get involved with, we are there when the time comes to ensure that end of life care is sensitively provided, to give the family a chance to say goodbye in their own way.We also provide an extensive range of counselling, therapies and support groups for the whole family. Whether its a creative therapy for the child, counselling for a parent or a support group for a sibling or grandparent our dedicated therapies team look after everyone.We offer physiotherapy, occupational therapy advice and support and complementary therapy for much-needed opportunity for parents to switch off from the stresses of life and take a moment to relax.
