I am joining #TeamShootingStar on a 25km walk along the Thames on Saturday 9th September to raise funds to support the work they do to help families in my constituency and across Surrey and West London.

Shooting Star is a full-range hospice centre, providing respite care for families of children with life-limiting conditions as well as palliative and end of life care, both at their centres in Hampton and Guildford and in the family home. They also provide bereavement support for all families who endure the loss of a child, including to siblings and grandparents. This cause is extremely close to my heart, and I am committed to supporting Shooting Star both locally and in Parliament.

I have also visited Shooting Star Children’s Hospice in Hampton and I have seen first-hand just how committed the staff are to supporting families in the most unimaginable of circumstances.

Any donations provided will be greatly appreciated by myself and the Shooting Star team.
