Support Us
We Need Your Support
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.

Volunteer
Little Stars has volunteers based all over Shropshire who help us to help hundreds of families.
From helping at donation points to supporting at events, raising awareness of our work, and creating bundles ready for delivery, our volunteers are amazing people.
We know time is precious, so every minute a volunteer can give to Little Stars makes a huge impact on the families we help.
If you would love to join the Little Stars volunteer team, we have roles available now, for further information and to apply please click the apply now button below.
Fundraise
Little Stars relies on our wonderful volunteers who fundraise for us - it might be a cake sale, a mammoth workplace based challenge or donations from a birthday or a legacy.
Every penny really does make a difference -
- £10 could buy mum a hospitals essentials pack.
- £25 could buy a stairgate for the home.
- £40 could buy a mattress for a cot or cotbed.
Your fundraising is vital for the future of the families we support - everyone should have access to essential items for their child - to be clean, clothed and kept safe.
