SUMMARY:Drop In at Shooting Star House- Christmas Special!
DESCRIPTION:For the last 11 years\, along with 100s of other cycling Santas\, Njinga have cycled a 20 km route from Richmond\, SW London to deliver gifts to our incredible children at Shooting Star Children’s Hospice. \nPolice are stopping traffic for this special occasion\, so make sure you are here promptly to welcome the cycling Santas as they come into the car park at SSH. The Santas will enter through the garden gate and place their gifts under the tree in Sparkle. These gifts will be scooped up by our Shooting Star Elves and gifted to our children throughout the festive period. There will be a brass band to guide us all in some festive carol singing. \nThe dining room will be your space to avoid the crowds and enjoy a hot chocolate in peace. The Santas can’t stay long as the police can only stop traffic for so long\, but stay with us as you normally would for a Drop-In session and we can do some Christmas crafting. We will be making some fabulous Christmas Decorations for you to take home with you. \nBetween 9.45am and 10.30am access to the building safely will be very tricky\, so please arrive at 9.15am to avoid the rush! We hope to see you there!!

SUMMARY:Teen siblings half term climbing event
DESCRIPTION:Has your teen been “climbing the walls” this half term? Well\, why not encourage them to spend the morning with other teen siblings of Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. \nWe will start the day with a 90-minute session with a fully trained instructor and of course\, all safety equipment provided. Working to their own ability with a relaxed session at Blue Spider\, Guildford. \nMeet us there with a packed lunch and some money if they want to purchase anything from the cafe afterward. We may need to communicate some documents with you from Blue Spider so please ensure these are returned as quickly as possible so we don’t hold up the session when we get there. If your teen is worried about not knowing anyone\, please reassure them that there are no cheesy “tell us your name and something fun about yourself” icebreakers – just a bunch of teens climbing and “hanging” out! One of the Family Support Team members will be there at all times to ensure the event goes smoothly.

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.
