Shooting Star Children’s Hospices

We are here to make every moment count

Shooting Star Children’s Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families, across south-west London, north-west London and Surrey.

We’re here to make every moment count, whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months, or years. 🌟

From diagnosis to end of life, and throughout bereavement, we provide specialist nursing, practical, emotional and medical support. Our services are free of charge and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It costs £12 million a year to run Shooting Star Children's Hospices, so we rely on the generosity of supporters and fundraisers, like you, to help keep our vital services running.
