Tomorrow, our school holiday family breaks begin! ✨

We’re so excited to be able to offer our families the chance to enjoy some beautiful caravans over the Easter holidays, May half term, and throughout the summer. These breaks are so well deserved, and they simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our donors over the past year - thank you! 💫🫶🏻

A very special thank you to Sue at Unrivalled Holiday Homes who is managing all the bookings and kindly waived her admin fees to support us. Sue has also gone above and beyond by working with local businesses to provide each family with a lovely welcome hamper, along with plenty of toys and books to keep the children happy whatever the weather!

We can’t wait to see the memories our families will make ☀️🌊🍦

The sun finally had it’s hat on for a great day of adventures at Oakwood Climbing Centre ☀️

We had a great day of activities - thanks so much to the team there that laid on such a great itinerary for us 🙌🏻🤩

One of our lovely sponsors, Advent, has just launched a shiny new website 💻✨

To celebrate, our contact there (the equally lovely Adam) has made us an offer we couldn’t refuse…

👉 For every person who emails Advent via their contact form saying “Adam is handsome”, they’ll donate £1 to Brightest Stars ⭐

It’s free, it’s fun, and it supports a great cause.
So go on - spread the love (and the compliments 😄):
