This year marks what would have been Emily’s 13th birthday, and we want to celebrate her legacy by giving back to the families that Emily’s Star supports. We are raising £7,500 to fund a special trip to the zoo and a summer party for our registered families, creating a day of joy, laughter, and cherished memories.
Why This Matters
Emily’s Star is dedicated to supporting children with complex needs and their families, providing essential resources, care packs, and much-needed respite. For many of these families, a simple day out can be a challenge – from accessibility concerns to financial constraints. By funding this special trip and summer celebration, we can give these families a stress-free day to connect, have fun, and feel supported.
How You Can Help
We need your help to make this happen! Every donation, big or small, will go towards covering:
Transport & Entry Fees – Ensuring all families can attend the zoo trip without worry.
Food & Refreshments – Making sure everyone has a delicious meal and snacks to enjoy.
Entertainment & Activities – Bringing smiles with face painting, games, and fun surprises.
Feedback from 2024
“Thank you for an amazing day at the zoo. Even today the children are talking about it. From how many monkeys they seen in the trees, to enjoying a yummy ice cream at lunch time. It’s certainly a big highlight for our summer holidays and we made some amazing happy memories.”
“Thank you for an amazing time at the zoo, it’s difficult to find things to do with Rayyan but he absolutely loved it, the fresh air & seeing the animals made him content & he enjoyed himself. Thank you as always xx”
“What an amazing day. So lovely to go out and be surrounded by so many families who just ‘get it’!!! As always, Katie organised it so well and it was lovely to all come together for lunch - a real community vibe. It can be hard to take day trips on your own, but with Emily’s Star around, you’re never alone!!! Thank you xx”
“ thank you thank you thank you! We had a wonderful family day, and Scarlett done so well walking the whole zoo! (with a little break in jacks buggy 🙈) She used her grid the whole day, getting every single animal correct and to ask for what she wants to see (again from an ipad you have provided!) Thank you for all you do, it means so much 🩷”
