Shooting Star Children's Hospices is a UK-based charity in the Hospitals and Health Care sector that operates in London and Surrey. It cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions and supports their families with nursing, practical, emotional and medical care from diagnosis through bereavement. Its care services are provided free of charge and include short breaks at two hospices—Shooting Star House in Hampton and Christopher's in Guildford—as well as support at home, day care, symptom management, end-of-life care, bereavement care and therapies for the whole family. The organization delivers its services year-round, 365 days a year. It employs between 51 and 200 staff, is registered with the fundraising regulator, and relies on supporters due to limited central government funding.
