Starlight Children's Foundation UK is a registered charity which aims to brighten the lives of seriously and terminally ill children between the ages of 4 and 18 by granting their wishes and entertaining them when they are in hospital. The 'wishes' fall into four main categories: travel wishes (eg to Disneyland Paris); experience wishes (eg fulfilling a dream for a day); tangible items (eg a bike or musical instrument); celebrity wishes (eg meeting a favourite celebrity). In addition to the wishes, Starlight works in hospitals by organising parties, outings, and providing Starlight Fun Centres which are mobile entertainment nits incorporating a TV, video unit and Nintendo Game Cube. The above website includes details of the organisation, fundraising and events as well as its services for children. Visit the website or contact the above address for further information.
