Story
We're hosting the annual 'Big Read 2025' as part of our house events to raise money for charity. Our school will be reading around the clock, coming together to celebrate a love of books while making a real difference.
Every donation, big or small, will go directly toward this cause, and we truly appreciate your support.
My Shining Star is a children's cancer charity that was officially founded in 2016 but the story began back in 2014. A group of people got together as they took part in a very large fundraising campaign for a local little girl named Ruby Laura. This campaign spearheaded by our founder, Anita Marinelli raised an enormous £600,000 for her treatment in just 10 months.
The campaign was a real eye-opener, and it did not take us long to realise the significant impact cancer has on not only the child diagnosed, but on the whole family. We met other families in similar heartbreaking situations, and we realised that we had to do more. We initially said that if we could help a further 10 families, it would be a job well done. To date, we have supported well over 5,000 families in the UK.
