Starlight
Our Chosen Charity
The Financial Advice Company is proud to support Starlight Children’s Foundation (Charity number 296058) with regular donations and via Give as you Live.
Starlight is a national children’s charity, dedicated to brightening the lives of children and teenagers suffering from a serious or terminal illness.
For over 30 years they have worked to support sick children and their families, because they know the difference happiness and laughter can make during difficult times.
Every year Starlight helps over half a million children to look beyond illness, and show them life’s possibilities.
Starlight Wishes
Starlight grant personalised wishes for children suffering from a life-threatening or life-shortening illness. When granting a wish, they aim to restore the magic and fun of childhood, creating happy memories for the whole family to share.
Starlight Wishes empower young people, by giving them the opportunity to make choices at a time when most decisions are made for them.
Whether it’s meeting an astronaut, getting a new computer, becoming a princess or going on a great adventure, Starlight Wishes are bespoke and limited only by a child’s imagination.
A wish is more than something to look forward to; Starlight Wishes can have a transformative effect on the whole family.
Starlight Escapes
Throughout the year, Starlight hosts a programme of special events for Starlight Wish children, as well as others from local hospitals and hospices, who are invited with their families, to enjoy time away from treatment and appointments.
Hospital entertainment
Starlight’s year-round programme of entertainment in hospitals, and hospices, throughout the country improves a child’s experience by using fun and distraction, helping children cope with procedures by focusing on something else.
