Shooting Star Children’s Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families, across west London and Surrey. We’re here to make every moment count, whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months, or years. We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional, and medical care. Our specialist care and support is free of charge and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We support around 500 babies, children, or young adults who have a life-limiting condition and their families, as well as around 200 bereaved families. It costs £10 million a year to run Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, so we rely on the generosity of our supporters to keep our services going.

28 GoodGymers have supported Shooting Star Children's Hospices with 18 tasks.

Shooting for the stars at Kew

Thursday 2nd January 2025

Written by Sarah-Jane Messenger

Goodgym Richmond ventured North to Kew. We split into two groups of shooting leaflet givers, on each side of the magical railway.

I am pleased to report that all 8 of us made it home before turning into Snowmen / Snowomen. However, it was a close call as the temperature dropped rather quickly!

But in conclusion, a good time was had by all, and more importantly, we had the chance to help a fantastic charity. Thanks to all those who helped out.
