Our hospices are fun and vibrant, just like a nursery environment. By having fun with a themed fundraiser at your nursery, you can ensure we can continue to offer support to the children and families we care for.
Support from schools
We want to support schools and youth groups by inspiring children and young people to develop a lifelong aspiration for helping others. At Shooting Star Children’s Hospices we love innovative and creative fundraising, filled with enthusiasm, understanding and most of all fun! This helps to create a lasting, positive experience and to ensure that children and young people enjoy supporting charities for life.
Schools and colleges
As a teacher, finding time and resources to support charities can be tough, but our Community Fundraising Team can support you with help, ideas or an assembly.
Universities
We understand your time is limited with studying, essays and exams but there are so many ways that you can get involved. And helping us also helps you; we can offer you opportunities to gain great experience in a variety of areas, which all helps towards a fabulous CV!
