It's Time to Play this Christmas!
Every child needs and deserves to play. It is absolutely crucial for their social and emotional development. But the COVID-19 crisis has made this so much more challenging for seriously ill children in hospital, and at home.
We believe play must be protected. That’s why, as we head towards the end of a uniquely challenging year, it’s Starlight’s ambition to raise £300,000 to give 30,000 seriously ill children the chance to play this Christmas.

Help us reach more seriously ill children
With hospital visiting hours reduced, the coronavirus is making life even lonelier for children on NHS children’s wards. With your support, we can urgently send Starlight Boost Boxes full of toys and activities to seriously ill children. Please donate today.
