Fundraising for Little Stars – Help Us Give Every Child a Brighter Start

We do not receive any Government funding and rely solely on your generous donations and the fundraising of our volunteers.

Our team applies for grants and trusts which enables us to continue doing the fantastic work of helping families in their time of need.

Your help through volunteering, monetary donations, or pre-loved items from our wish list is imperative for us to continue supporting families across Shropshire.
