Make a donation

This Christmas we are asking you to bring sunshine to children with serious or life-limiting conditions and their families, in your local community.

Make a donation today through our online form to ensure we can continue to be there for those who need us.

Whether you’re giving in memory, leaving a gift in your will, or donating through a corporate partnership or a trust, we define donations of £5,000 or more as ‘major gifts’ or ‘philanthropy’.
