Fundraising stars

Celebrating 25 years in business

Our friends at The Property Centre have donated over £5,000 to National Star after celebrating their 25th year in business last year. We are beyond grateful for the incredible support!

Ecclesiastical get hands–on

Thanks to donations through their Movement for Good giving scheme and employee volunteering days, staff from Ecclesiastical have raised over £3,000 for National Star. Staff volunteered their time to cut back hedging and clear paths at Greensteps, our learning
centre in Cheltenham. ‘We chose National Star as it was very clear, following a visit to their site, what incredible work they do to make a massive difference to young people’s lives,’ said Lynne Hood, Senior Analyst at Ecclesiastical.

Gloucestershire Hauliers

Gloucestershire Hauliers have raised an incredible £15,500 for National Star since they started supporting the charity in 2017. They raise money at their annual dinner dance. ‘We are very grateful for their continued support. It is a superb evening where we get the opportunity to talk to the guests about the difference their support makes to young people with complex disabilities at National Star,’ said Catrin Viveash, Head of Fundraising at National Star.

A fundraising non-uniform day

The Crypt School in Gloucester held a non–uniform day in aid of National Star and two other charities, raising a brilliant £439.83 for us!

Cheers to DEYA

National Star partnered with Cheltenham brewery DEYA to create a special collaboration beer. The proceeds of the 4.5% pale ale went towards our public appeal to build new specialist accommodation at Ullenwood, raising a fantastic £1,614.68.
