✨ Meet the Trustees

Therapy Stars Foundation was created because our trustees shared one belief: that every family should have the opportunity to access the therapy their child needs, regardless of their circumstances.

Together, our trustee team brings experience across children's physiotherapy, SEND education, psychotherapy, healthcare, operations and family support. It's this combination of professional knowledge and personal passion that helps shape everything we do.

We're delighted to share that 5 families have been awarded Therapy Stars Foundation grants so far this year. Every grant represents another child gaining access to specialist therapy and another family receiving support when they need it most.

Our next grant review takes place on 3 September, and applications are now open.

If you live in Shropshire, Cheshire, Mid or North Wales and have a child with a long-term or life-limiting condition, we'd love to hear from you.

Siblings often experience the journey alongside their brother or sister. They celebrate every milestone, adapt to changing routines, and sometimes make sacrifices that can go unnoticed.

That's why our grants can also be used to support siblings. Because we know that every family is different, and sometimes the right support for one child means supporting those around them too.

Looking after the whole family helps create stronger foundations for everyone.

What can a £500 grant really mean to a family?

It's more than just funding. It could be a block of physiotherapy to build strength and confidence. Speech and language therapy to support communication. Hydrotherapy sessions that make movement feel easier. Or specialist therapy that simply isn't available elsewhere.

In our latest blog, we explore how a £500 grant can open doors to opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach, and why those opportunities matter so much.

💙 Alex’s story is a powerful reminder of why this support matters.

With funding from Therapy Stars Foundation, Alex was able to access MAES therapy, a specialist approach that helps the brain develop new movement pathways. The funding covered a five-hour therapy block, during which Alex made excellent progress towards taking steps independently.

Each step brings Alex closer to his goal of walking one day.

His family shared:
“[Therapy Stars Foundation] showed real care and interest in how Alex got on with the therapy. Thank you so much for helping my lovely Alex to access the therapy he needs and deserves.”

🌟 Small wins. Big breakthroughs. 🌟

Standing independently for a few more seconds. Taking an extra step. Saying a first word.

These milestones may seem small to others, but they represent months of hard work, determination, and perseverance for the children and families we support.

We are proud to fund specialist therapies that make these moments possible.
