Shooting Star CHASE

Welcome to Shooting Star CHASE

This is the new name for the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice and CHASE hospice care for children, which have now come together under the new name, Shooting Star CHASE.

The local children’s hospice service provides care, support and advice for over 500 life-limited children, teenagers and their families every year in western London, Surrey and West Sussex. These care services are offered free of charge, 365 days a year.

The care services are based around the needs of the whole family, so as well as caring for the children and young people, there are activities for siblings and support groups for parents and grandparents. This makes a real difference to families who find themselves in unimaginable circumstances – helping them live life to the full by providing opportunities for fun and laughter, as well as helping them through the tougher times.

Families benefit from Shooting Star CHASE’s care services in the community, in their own homes and at Shooting Star House, the purpose-built facility based in Hampton, Middlesex. These services include Short Breaks, Outreach Care, Day Care, Family Support and Therapies and End of Life Care.

It costs £3 million every year (£8,000 a day) to maintain these care services and with no long-term statutory funding, the majority of this comes from voluntary donations.
