Tots to Teens – Because Childhood Needs Do Not End at Toddlers
At Little Stars, we know that childhood does not stop after the toddler years – and neither should our support. That is why we created Tots to Teens. This essential programme ensures children from ages two to thirteen receive the practical help they need to grow, learn, and feel confident in themselves, no matter what life throws their way.
Through trusted referrals from schools, health visitors, and local professionals, we provide clothing, footwear, and hygiene packs for children across Shropshire and Telford.
These bundles are tailored to age and season – warm coats for winter, school-ready outfits in September, and essentials that help older children feel confident and clean.
Here is how you can make a lasting difference:
- Donate, clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, and toiletries for ages 2 to 13.
- Fundraise, organise a school drive, workplace appeal, or community event.
- Contribute funds for safety equipment, coats, hygiene products and other essential items.
- Volunteer, help us sort, pack, and distribute support with care.
