Starlight
Children’s Foundation
Starlight Children's Foundation brightens the lives of seriously
and terminally ill children by granting their wishes and providing
hospital entertainment to help take their minds off the pain,
fear and isolation of their illness.
When Starlight began in
1987, they helped just 4 children; this year, it will help
over 500,000 children all over the
UK. Where possible, mums, dads, brothers and sisters are
involved to strengthen family bonds at what is often a time
of great
stress and give everyone happy memories to share, no matter
what the future may hold. Starlight receives neither Government
nor Lottery support.
If Starlight had just one wish itself,
it would be that cures could be found for all the terrible
illnesses that can afflict
children.
Until then, we will continue to provide important
medicines of another sort: excitement, fun and laughter.
