CHARITIES

Starlight Foundation

Starlight Children’s Foundation brightens the lives of seriously and terminally ill children by granting them a once-in-a-lifetime wish and by providing entertainment for children in hospitals and hospices throughout the United Kingdom. All Starlight’s activities are aimed at distracting children from the pain, fear and isolation they can often feel as a result of their illness.

Barnardos

Barnardos runs more than 400 vital services across the UK. Our services include counselling for children who have experienced sexual exploitation, support for young carers, fostering and adoption services, vocational training and disability inclusion groups. Every Barnardos service is different but each believes that all children and young people deserve the best start in life, no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through.

Terrence Higgins Trust

Terry Higgins was one of the first people in the UK to die with AIDS. A group of his friends wanted to prevent more people having to face the same illness as Terry. So they named the Trust after him, hoping to personalise and humanise AIDS in a very public way.

British Heart Foundation

We're the nation's heart charity. Our vision is a world where people don't die prematurely from heart disease.

We'll achieve this through pioneering research, vital prevention activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone living with heart disease.
