Starlight Foundation
Living with illness or injury can cause enormous strain in the lives of children and their families. The pain, loneliness and isolation that sick children feel dominates their lives, and they often miss out on normal experiences that healthy children take for granted.
Physical recovery is only part of the solution. Starlight delivers innovative programs designed to make children happy and lift their spirits when they need it the most.
Starlight offers a broad spectrum of programs including the Captain Starlight program, Starlight Express Rooms, the Starlight Express Van, Starlight Fun Centres, Club Ado, Starlight Escapes, Starlight Wishgranting and Livewire, a safe online social networking site.
There are over 600,000 child admissions to Australian hospitals every year. Currently Starlight is only able to reach one in three of these children but its ultimate goal is to enable every seriously ill child and their family the opportunity to access and benefit from Starlight’s programs.
For more information on Starlight visit www.starlight.org.au or call 08 9420 5999.
