The Team at Little Stars
Our team may be small, but its impact is enormous. Every person who works with us, every volunteer who gives their time, shares one simple but powerful belief – that every child deserves love, safety and a strong start in life, no matter the circumstances they are born into.
Behind every bundle packed and every message answered is someone who cares deeply. Our staff and volunteers come from all walks of life, yet they are bound together by one mission – to bring relief and kindness to families when they need it most.
We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our volunteers. They’re committed to our vision and always work with passion and enthusiasm to help deliver our service.
We are governed by a dedicated Board of Trustees who help guide our charity’s growth with care and clarity, keeping us accountable, focused and rooted in our values.
We are proud to introduce the people at the heart of Little Stars.
