Shooting Star Children's Hospice provides care to children and young people with life limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families, in the place of their choice. This can range from the family home, at a child's school, or at Shooting Star House, our purpose-built facility in Hampton, Middlesex. We aim to work alongside all professionals involved in the child or young person's care at all times.
