The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice is
raising funds to run a hospice to support children with life-limiting
conditions and their families. Can you help?
The hospice provides a home from home environment for the children and
gives respite (short breaks) to their families from the constant worry
of providing 24-hour care.
Having to look after a terminally ill child puts enormous strain on
family life. Holidays, family activities and outings become a thing of
the past. Parents rarely get any time to themselves while brothers and
sisters can feel left out.
Families feel isolated, alone and afraid of what the future will hold.
That’s when a children’s hospice can make such a difference.
At any one time there are up to 1,500 children with life-limiting
medical conditions living in the area to be served by the hospice.
The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice includes rooms for children and
visiting families, medical treatment, advice and counselling.
This care is available at no cost to the families who use the hospice,
but the annual running costs have to be raised from charitable
fundraising and donations.
The Children’s Hospice is in Hampton, Middlesex and serves the western
half of London and North Surrey.
You can help to raise vital funds for the Shooting Star Children’s
Hospice, by taking part in this exciting event. Being part of our team
will really make a difference, not only by raising sponsorship, but also
helping to raise the profile of the Charity. |
