Starlight Children's Foundation - UK

Starlight use the power of play to make the experience of illness and treatment better for children and their families. We are passionate about protecting time for play. We champion play's importance and defend every seriously ill child's right to it. Our passion takes us to the bedsides of some of the most poorly children in the UK. We use the power of play to create a sense of escape from the difficult reality in which these children find themselves. To delight and distract. To entertain and enlighten. But, most of all, to restore a smile to their faces. Play is important. Play is invaluable. Play is vital.
