On the evening of Wednesday 23 June, during Children’s Hospice Week, Shooting Star Children’s Hospices Executive Vice-President Karen Sugarman MBE, was joined by close friends and fellow Vice-President Simon Cowell and Patron Lauren Silverman for a special Sunset Walk to raise money to support babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across London and Surrey.

Monday 21 – Sunday 27 June marks this year’s Children’s Hospice Week. During this special week we’ll be showcasing the care and support we have provided to families and what this support has meant.

This month marks our Virtual Sunrise Walk – asking people to join us throughout June to chose a walk of their choice and experience it at sunrise. Emma, and her triumphant team of teachers share the reason they are embarking on their own Sunrise Walk to raise money for their local children’s hospice charity. 

Our fabulous fundraisers never cease to amaze us with the inspirational challenges they take on or the fantastic fundraising ideas they come up with to raise both much needed funds and awareness for us and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank them.

Our Cobham shop is delighted to announce a very special designer clothes evening for junior and teenage clothes from age 7 – 16. The event is set to take place on Wednesday 23 June between 5 – 8pm – so you can peruse at your leisure and get yourself some lovely sustainable fashion whilst supporting your local children’s hospice charity.

The first week of June marks Volunteers’ Week so to commemorate this special week, we wanted to come together and say a huge thank you to each and every individual who support us in myriad ways, at the hospice, in our shops, at our events and remotely – all helping to raise funds and awareness.

The 1st of June marks the start of our Virtual Sunrise Walk where you can see the sunrise your way and help us raise money for the families we support. So a group of our fundraising team came together recently to kick start the month and complete their own Sunrise Walk.

The impact of the past year has been felt by us all, especially the younger generation with disruption to their school and social life. However, this hasn’t stopped our super young supporters channelling their inner fundraiser and coming up with wonderful and imaginative ways to support Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.
