SUMMARY:Pamper Day for bereaved mums whose child was aged 1 and above
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a day of relaxation and rejuvenation\, where the focus is solely on taking time for yourself. \nExperience the peace of our tranquil treatment room as you receive 30–40 minutes of reflexology or an aromatherapy back massage\, tailored to your needs. Please note\, whilst we will try and ensure you receive your first choice of treatment\, this may not be possible\, so we require that you would be happy with either treatment. \nAdditionally\, treatments cannot be given if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy. \nUpon arrival\, treat yourself to a glass of bubbles or a fresh orange juice and a pastry\, while connecting with other mums. After crafting bath bombs\, body scrubs\, foot lotion and lavender bags\, you can enjoy a lunch of sandwiches\, crisps\, fruit and sweet treats. \nWear comfortable clothing as you will be invited to join a relaxation session\, designed to promote peace and calm. \nThis event offers a unique opportunity for you to recharge\, feel pampered and form supportive relationships with other mums. \nWe understand that schedules can change\, and it may be necessary to cancel\, so please let us know in advance to allow us to fill your place with another deserving mum. \nAt our Pamper Day\, we believe that everyone needs a little time for themselves\, and we can’t wait to create an atmosphere of relaxation\, support and wellbeing. \nPlease do not sign up for this event if you are already having complimentary therapy with the team at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. We would also ask that if you have attended a Pamper Day in the last 12 months\, you leave these spaces for other mums who have not yet been. Thank you for your understanding.

SUMMARY:Siblings' Base Camp
DESCRIPTION:Runs Monday 11 August – Wednesday 13 August\nBooking for Base Camp will close at 5pm on Friday 25 July \nThis August we are excited to be offering our very first Siblings’ Base Camp. This 3-day creative experience is a chance for bereaved siblings to form their very own music band and create music as a way to process grief. \nSupported by our creative and music therapists\, they will be writing and recording their own songs to process the difficult experiences that come with loss and grief\, in a safe\, fun and caring environment. Being able to get to know and share with each other can help bereaved siblings feel less alone. \nIf you are the parent or carer of a bereaved child or young person aged between 5-17 years old who may benefit from attending\, please click Enquire to register your interest and a children’s therapist will be in touch to help you decide if this group is suitable. \nPlease note it is important that everyone can attend all 3 days for this event so they can have the full experience. Transport can be provided.

After crafting bath bombs\, body scrubs\, foot lotion and lavender bags\, you can enjoy a lunch of sandwiches\, crisps\, fruit and sweet treats. \nWear comfortable clothing as you will be invited to join a relaxation session\, designed to promote peace and calm. \nThis event offers a unique opportunity for you to recharge\, feel pampered and form supportive relationships with other mums. \nWe understand that schedules can change\, and it may be necessary to cancel\, so please let us know in advance to allow us to fill your place with another deserving mum. \nAt our Pamper Day\, we believe that everyone needs a little time for themselves\, and we can’t wait to create an atmosphere of relaxation\, support and wellbeing. \nPlease do not sign up for this event if you are already having complimentary therapy with the team at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. We would also ask that if you have attended a Pamper Day in the last 12 months\, that you leave these spaces for other mums who have not yet been. Thank you for your understanding.
