At Starlight Children’s Foundation, our mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families. We know happiness matters to sick kids, and by improving their mental and social wellbeing, we can give them a positive impact on their overall physical health.

For over 30 years we have worked in partnership with health professionals to bring the fun, joy and laughter that help sick kids be kids. We create experiences and moments that help children of all ages regardless of their disability, injury or illness because what happens in childhood lasts a lifetime, and every child should have a happy childhood.

Our Charity Partner

Starlight Children's Foundation is our official charity partner for the People First Community Lottery. We encourage you to buy tickets for our charity partner when finding it hard to choose a community group to support.
