A Zoo-per day out

A heart-warming day unfolded for some teenagers supported by Shooting Star, as they visited London Zoo in what proved to be a fantastic day out filled with laughter, learning, and fun encounters with wildlife.

Alongside Senior Staff Nurse, Lucy Wright, some of our Care team escorted the teens to the zoo, offering the chance to marvel at some of the zoo’s most iconic animals. “The giraffes and zebras were a big hit,” Lucy shared. “It was such a lovely day, the children absolutely loved it!”

The day wasn’t just about animals. The group came together for a relaxed picnic, making the most of a rare dry spell in London’s summer forecast.

The visit not only brought smiles to the teen’s faces but also strengthened the bond between hospice staff and the young adults that they support. It’s moments like these that reflect our mission: creating lasting, meaningful memories to make every moment count.
