There can be fewer better ways to start the new year than getting out for some steps, doing good and seeing other people!
Today six of us met in Teddington to continue our task of delivering leaflets to advertise the Christmas tree collection that Shooting Stars Hospices are doing. Covering around 3km each just by walking around the streets and up and down the beautiful paths and drives, that's 18km of ground covered together!
This very worthy cause is raising money by collecting trees across TW postcodes, and we are trying to spread the word as much as possible. Three bundles were delivered today. Further tasks to cover more of the borough are taking place in Sheen, Twickenham and Richmond Centre this week.

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.
