SUMMARY:Thames Sailability Sensory boat trip - Accessible
DESCRIPTION:Thames Sailability’s specially adapted motorboat\, “Impossible Dream”\, allows its passengers to enjoy boating on the Thames. They have a boarding ramp for access by users of wheelchairs\, powered chairs\, and people with reduced mobility\, and a safe covered cabin area….with central heating! \nImpossible Dream sails all year round and has a skilled and trained crew to help us. \nWe are offering this to children and young people who would benefit from this as a sensory experience. \nThe sound of the water lapping the front of the boat\, the wildlife that we pass\, and maybe even the rain on the roof of the Impossible Dream’s awning. \nSpace is limited so we are offering space for 3 wheelchair users and a parent or carer each. There is an opportunity to transfer onto a bench or chair if that is appropriate but rest assured chairs can board the board and stay on for the duration of the trip. \nWhilst on the boat\, we ask that the young person and carer remain seated at all times\, for safety reasons this is very important. We will review all the RSVPs and ensure that our care team is in agreement that this event is safe for you to attend. \nWe can’t wait to see you there. If you are not sure if this event is for you\, please don’t hesitate to contact me: caroline.brett-field@shootingstar.org.uk.

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:Bereaved Siblings Day
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of year again where we would like to borrow the Bereaved Siblings (5+) for a day of all things magic! \nMagic school is nothing like actual school\, that’s for sure.

We will serve Hot Snotlate to enjoy in the afternoon\, magic making is hard work after all! \nIf anyone at home has tested positive for Covid we ask that you test your child (of all ages) before they come. We try to encourage children to be independent and say goodbye in reception. Please let us know if you think your child might struggle and we can make sure a friendly face is there to greet them. Don’t worry about remembering your wand\, we have a masterclass upon arrival to make sure you are fully equipped to make all things magical on the day!

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:Sailing Social for supported young people
DESCRIPTION:This event is for supported young people aged from 10 upwards. \nFrensham Sailability says: \n“Our sailors frequently comment that\, when sailing\, they are freed from their limitations and can compete on equal terms with any able-bodied sailor. We help you do this by providing a range of specially designed boats and the necessary support facilities. With the help of our experienced volunteers\, you can learn to sail\, or enjoy sailing again\, and develop your skills as far as you wish – to international competition level if you want!” \nNo previous experience of sailing is necessary but the use of hands is required. \nNew sailors can go out with an experienced ‘buddy’ who will explain what sailing involves. However\, our mission is to encourage independent sailing as much as possible. Frensham Pond provides a uniquely safe environment for this. \nThis is an opportunity for your children to experience sailing and the freedom of being in control of their boat. They will have the opportunity to go out on a 1-1 smaller boat with an experienced volunteer and also in a bigger group boat if their mobility allows.” \nAll safety equipment and wet weather gear are provided\, along with access to the clubhouse where parents and carers are welcome to stay for the duration or can spectate from dry land. \nPlease bring along a packed lunch (we will provide cake and snacks)\, a change of clothes\, and a towel (good old British weather may mean we sail in the rain). \nAs well as the experienced volunteers at Frensham\, the group will be supported by a nurse\, HCA\, family support worker\, and Shooting Star volunteers. This opportunity is suitable for young people aged 10 and over that would enjoy socialising with others. A nurse will be in contact to ask any questions if your child’s care plan isn’t up to date on our system and if their needs can be safely supported at the event.

SUMMARY:London to Paris Bike Ride - Tour de France Finale Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The London to Paris Bike Ride is an awesome cycling challenge and is by far one of the best fundraising events in Europe attracting hundreds of riders each year and raising thousands for charities nationwide. Whether you’re a regular cyclist or new to cycling\, looking to participate as part of a group or a solo cyclist – this is the perfect charity cycle event for you. \nYou will arrive in Paris as a peloton the day before the Tour de France is due to finish. This means you will have the chance to watch the finale of this iconic road race as it ends in the French capital.  \nSpend 4 days in the saddle\, cycling 308 miles from capital to capital. The journey begins in London with the route taking you through glorious English countryside as you cycle from Kent to Dover\, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Once across the water start cycling ‘French style’\, remembering to keep to the right (!)\, then push on cycling along quiet French country lanes\, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling green hills of northern France\, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme. \nOn entering Paris\, the home stretch takes you around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées. A spectacular finish line awaits at the Eiffel Tower! Then it’s time to celebrate your fantastic achievement\, in this magical city. \nPricing options\nThere are two pricing options available for the bike ride and it is important you understand these and choose the right option for you. \nOption A – (Funded) Registration Fee £125 + Min Sponsorship £1\,790 \nYou pay a deposit and the balance is paid by the charity. You are obliged to raise a minimum sponsorship amount. \nOption B – (Self Funded) Registration Fee £125 + Self Funding £895 \nYou pay the deposit and balance for the challenge. Any sponsorship you do raise goes to Shooting Star Children’s Hospices – there is no minimum sponsorship amount with this option. \nBe part of #TeamShootingStar\nJoin us for the London to Paris Bike for a truly inspirational experience. Make new friends\, push yourself beyond your limits but most of all make memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. \nWith a limited number of spaces available don’t miss out – register today! \nFor more information or to register for the ride\, please contact our events team at events@shootingstar.org.uk or call 01932 823113.

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!
