Introducing Wear Stars 4 Little Stars Week
From 22nd to 30th June 2025, we’re inviting our amazing community to take part in our first ever Wear Stars 4 Little Stars Week: a fun and feel-good fundraising event with a serious purpose.
After the success of our single-day fundraiser last year, we’re excited to launch a full week of starry-themed activities to support Project Nighttime: a new initiative focused on helping children get the safe and comfortable night’s sleep they deserve.
Introducing Project Nighttime
Project Nighttime is all about making sure local children have the essentials they need for bedtime; items we can’t provide second-hand, like mattresses and mattress protectors, stairgates, bedding, nappies and toiletries.
Last year, we spent over £7,000 on these vital items. As demand continues to rise, we’re asking for your help so we can be ready to support even more families in 2025.
