Christopher’s

Christopher’s Saturday Club, Tweenies, got off to a skate start this year with a fun trip to Guildford Spectrum ice rink. 

As we reach the end of the traditional 12 days of Christmas – what a wonderful Christmas time it has been at our two hospices, Christopher’s in Guildford and Shooting Star House in Hampton.

With only a few more sleeps until the big day we have been feeling very Christmassy at our hospices, celebrating all things festive!

There was no Wey to stop the smiles from the children and the Care team at Christopher’s last week when Wey Valley Motorcycle Club vroomed into the car park to drop off their annual Christmas toy donation!

Supported children (and our care team!) had a great Panto-time at Christopher’s this festive season, as Christmas for Kids paid a visit for a very special performance – oh yes it was! 

The festive feels were out in force last week as supported families came together at Hampton Court Palace ice rink for a spin on the ice.

Axel was just 9 months old when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Help families, like Axel’s, facing the unimaginable this Christmas.

To celebrate the Rugby World Cup, super supporters the Akuma Beavers rugby team paid a visit to our Guildford hospice, Christopher’s to spend some time with some of the children and families supported by Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

Christopher’s, our Guildford hospice opened its doors last week to welcome 80 guests to its annual Open Day. The day is held to give people in the community a chance to come and discover the work of a children’s hospice and find out more about what Shooting Star Children’s Hospices do.

We welcomed over 250 family members to Christopher’s for our Family Fun Day on Sunday 1 September. The annual event, held at our Guildford hospice is a chance for families to come together and enjoy a wealth of fun and entertainment with various stalls, special visitors and a delicious BBQ all in a safe and comfortable environment.
