A Year of Fundraising Triumphs
Our passionate team embraced various fundraising initiatives throughout the year to support My Shining Star's invaluable work. Among our most exciting endeavours was the adrenaline-fueled wing walk, where our brave participants soared through the skies and raised an impressive £3,920. But the giving spirit didn't stop there. In a heartwarming display of solidarity, our partners matched the funds, doubling the impact to a remarkable £7,841.
Our dedicated staff also played a crucial role in fundraising efforts, organizing dress-down days that raised an additional £969.72. Recognizing the importance of the holiday season, we extended our support to My Shining Star's Xmas grotto sponsorship, contributing £400 to bring joy to the faces of young ones. Furthermore, our team's enthusiasm for making a difference shone brightly during our raffle, where an additional £200 was generously donated. Collectively, these efforts propelled our total raised amount to £9,410.72.

Exceeding Expectations
As the final figure drew near, our commitment to making a meaningful impact spurred us to go the extra mile. Ensuring every penny benefited those in need, we included the additional £590 in our bank payment to the charity. To give My Shining Star an even more significant contribution, we rounded the sum to an impressive £10,000.
