Parking is available but please park sensibly. We have families arriving after your hour slot as well! Note there is no ramp into the barn\, a slight step up\, so it might be a wiggle and a jiggle to get wheelchair users in\, but its possible! Very uneven ground and wellies/coats reccomended . Please save slots for the children\, so if you can manage with 1 adult ticket and the rest children in your group that would be magical! Thank you!

SUMMARY:Research Strategy Round Table
DESCRIPTION:Join us to develop our new research strategy!\nWho are we? \n\nDr AK Anderson\, Consultant in Paediatric Palliative Medicine and Dr Aneita Pringle\, Research Lead at Shooting Star Children’s Hospices (SSCH).\n\nWhat are we doing? \n\nOur aim is to become more research active as a hospice\, to answer important questions and support even better care.\nWe are offering a free workshop to help us understand what is important to you and develop priorities for research.\nWe are asking for your help as SSCH stakeholders to come together and discuss what is important for you and to develop our research priorities as an organisation.\nThe workshop will help us develop our 2024/2025 research strategy and beyond.\nWe are offering the option to attend one of two days.\n\nWhy is this important? \n\nYou may have heard the slogan\, “nothing about us without us\,” in relation to service design and/or research. Ethical research involves end users from the very beginning\, including the identification of research priorities.\nYour opinion matters to us.\nResources are precious in this sector. To ensure we maximise our limited time\, finances\, and energy\, we need to know what will make the biggest difference to children\, families\, and staff.\n\nWhat does taking part involve? \n\nThis full-day event will entail:\nPresentations on topics including what research is\, barriers to and facilitators of research\, and the current research landscape in paediatric palliative and hospice-based research.\nDiscussions in small groups relating to your thoughts\, and identifying what is important for you in this area.\n\nIs attending mandatory? \n\nNo\, attendance is voluntary. We’d love to have you come along\, but only if you want to!\n\nWho will be there? \n\nWe are inviting a wide array of individuals who are involved in the hospice in some way.\nSupported and bereaved parents;\nExternal staff (e.g.\, doctors and nurses);\nInternal staff from care (e.g.\, nurses\, carers\, physiotherapists\, doctors) and non-care (e.g.\, administrative staff\, Directors\, members of the fundraising and communications teams) are invited as well.\nA mixture of any or all the individuals above will attend.\n\nWhat will happen after the event? \n\nWe will:\nFeed back via a written report summarising what was discussed.\nConsult with children and young people on their priorities.\nIntegrate our findings with the wider research literature.\nFormulate our new research strategy based on these results and submit it to the Board for approval.\nShare or publish our results on our website\, in conferences\, and through academic journals.\n\nMiscellaneous: \n\nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Thorpe Park family day out
DESCRIPTION:Due to the popular demand for theme park tickets\, we are delighted to say that Merlin Magic Wand has shared with us some tickets for Thorpe Park for families to enjoy. Please note that these tickets are only for those who have not yet had family tickets for any other of the theme parks this year. \nThe day is yours to spend how you wish! Tag up with other families to share your experience or make memories on your own\, it’s up to you. Children under 18 must be with an adult. Please read all the information very carefully when your tickets are issued. You will need a wheelchair pass that requires you to make arrangements before you arrive and height restrictions can apply to many rides so please check the attraction’s main site to make sure it is suitable before requesting tickets. If you arrive on the day without your wheelchair pass\, you will need to queue up and present your blue badge to get the passes that you need. \nTicket codes will be sent to you directly (via our family support team email\, the Eventbrite confirmation email is NOT your ticket) and are non-transferable to another date once you have booked the date of your choice. \nPlease reply with all the names of each family member known to SSCH who will be with you. \nIf you have already received tickets to another attraction from Merlin via us this year\, I’m afraid we must leave these tickets to other families. Please take photos and tag Merlin Magic Wand and us\, we both love to see your photos! \nWe hope you have an amazing day!
