SUMMARY:Sunrise Trek Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for a more rugged challenge? How about scaling one of the UK’s highest mountains in the dark? \nJoin our Sunrise Trek up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) as our experienced guides lead you on a trek through the night\, reaching the summit in time for sunrise.  This challenge will be a mental and physical test\, but we can promise the reward for completing it\, whilst raising money to support the families we care for\, is worth every step! \nWith very limited space available for this unique experience sign up today and do ‘summit’ amazing in 2025. Everything you need to know can be found in our event guide but please do get in touch if you have any questions. \nItinerary: \n\n\n\nArrival time\n02:04am approx.\n\n\nRegistration\n02:24am approx.\n\n\nWalk start time\n02:24am approx.\n\n\nSunrise time\n06:24am\n\n\nBreakfast\n09:14am approx.\n\n\nDeparture\n12.00pm approx.\n\n\n\nWhat’s included?\nThe event will be organised by SVL Adventures and led by SVL Adventures Mountain Leaders. All walkers will receive an invitation to a Trek Talk and Team Training Walk prior to the event\, the opportunity to book onto our organised transport\, a complimentary breakfast\, T-shirt and bespoke Sunrise Trek medal. \n‘Exciting\, thrilling\, humbling\, challenging – all at once! I feel like everything went perfectly’. \nWho you’re helping\nStaying up all night and then climbing a mountain is a tough ask for anyone – but for many of the families we support\, being awake all night is an all too common experience. Children like Imogen have complex medical conditions requiring 24 hour care\, and often parents are the only ones able to provide it. That’s why your support is so vital. \n‘I am awestruck withy the organisers\, the staff guides\, but also the people. It’s very inspirational!’ \nKey information\nWith your bravery\, courage and determination we are hoping to raise £20\,000 from the Sunrise Trek Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) challenge to support our work helping children with life-limiting conditions and their families. In order to do this we hope that each of you will commit to raising a minimum of £250. Those reaching this target will be rewarded with a beanie hat – a valuable item on the kit list! \nFinally tick this challenge off your bucket list\, whilst raising money for babies\, children and young people with life-limiting conditions. Places are limited\, so sign up today! \nThe event is open to ages 7+. Under 18s need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We ask that parents/guardians make a judgment on whether the younger children can cope with the lack of sleep & the energy levels required to complete the trek. \nPlease note that dogs are unable to join the Snowdon Sunrise Trek. \nIf you need any more information about the event or help with your fundraising please do not hesitate to contact the team at events@shootingstar.org.uk. \n‘Another excellent event by SSCH\, a phenomenal experience\, and to anyone interested I’d say do it\, do it\, do it’

SUMMARY:Open Day at Shooting Star House

The work they do truly transforms the lives of the families we care for\, and we would love for you to come and see the difference it makes first-hand. \nOur commitment doesn’t end at Hampton’s gates.

SUMMARY:Pamper Day for bereaved mums whose child  was aged 1 or less
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\, that you leave these spaces for other mums who have not yet been. Thank you for your understanding.
