What We Do With Donations

Starlight is only able to help thousands of children each year thanks to the kindness and fundraising efforts of the general public, companies and trust funds. Starlight does not receive funding from the Government or the National Lottery.

We promise you that your hard-earned donations will be spent wisely: 93p in every £1 you raise helps Starlight’s sick children.

Here are just a few examples of what your donations or fundraising could achieve:
