Aico Recognised as Lifetime Corporate Supporter of Little Stars
We are incredibly proud to recognise Aico as a Lifetime Corporate Supporter of Little Stars: an award that reflects the belief and trust they had for our Founder and CEO Leanne and support they have shown our charity since its infancy.
From the very beginning, Aico believed in Little Stars and in what Leanne, was trying to achieve. At a time when the charity was still finding its feet, their support helped turn her idea into a reality, giving Leanne the confidence, encouragement and practical backing needed to grow Little Stars into the organisation it is today.
At an impactful presentation delivered this week to the Aico team, Leanne shared an honest and reflective lookback at the journey so far. It was a powerful moment, at times emotional, as she spoke about the impact Aico’s time, funding, resources and belief have had, not just for the charity, but for her personally, and most importantly for the thousands of children who have been supported over the last 5 years.
Reflecting on the partnership, Jane Pritchard, Aico’s CSR & Community Engagement Lead shared: “It has been a real privilege for Aico to support Little Stars over the past five years. To see the charity grow and establish itself, and most importantly the impact it has had on children and families across Shropshire, has been truly inspiring. We’re excited to continue our support in 2026 and beyond.”
The presentation highlighted key milestones in our journey together, from early practical support to long-term volunteering and fundraising. It also included moments of personal and professional reflection, with heartfelt thanks shared for the people at Aico who have walked alongside Leanne through every stage of Little Stars’ growth.
We are deeply grateful to everyone at Aico for their continued support, belief and generosity. Partnerships like this show what’s possible when businesses choose to invest in people, purpose and long-term impact.
We look forward to our continued partnership as the charity moves into the next phase of growth.
