As the first buds of spring begin to bloom, they bring with them a sense of renewal and an air of joy that is both invigorating and inspiring.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, 16th March, from 9 am to 1 pm, as our 14 Little Garden locations come together in a grand festivity to champion the cause of Starlight, the UK’s premier charity dedicated to enriching the hospital and hospice experience for children through the power of play. Starlight steadfastly believes in the universal right of every child to enjoy the bliss of playtime, especially those facing the daunting challenges of serious illnesses.
Together We Grow: Our Spring Playdate Charity Event
This event is more than just a playdate; it’s a heart-warming gathering that promises a tapestry of activities designed to ignite joy, spark creative flames, and cultivate a sense of unity. From the symbolic act of planting seeds, representing the growth and nourishment of our spirits, to the simple pleasures of outdoor activities like skipping and riding a bike.
Be prepared for a delightful array of quirky and whimsical fundraising activities that are the hallmark of our nurseries. Engage in Easter Egg hunts, silent auctions, biscuit decorating or create a cherished family memento that embodies the essence of this special day.
Supporting Starlight: A Mission We Hold Dear
Starlight’s unwavering dedication to ensuring that the fundamental aspect of play remains accessible to all children, especially those in the throes of medical challenges, resonates deeply with our core values of nurturing and advocating for every child’s right to a joyous and healthy upbringing.
The proceeds from our Spring Playdate will directly bolster Starlight’s invaluable work in mitigating the fear, pain, and trauma that children endure during their medical journeys. The transformative power of play extends beyond mere entertainment, fostering mental and physical resilience and wellbeing.

We extend a warm invitation to all families to join us in this meaningful celebration. Your participation, laughter, and contributions will not only elevate the event but also make a significant difference in the lives of seriously ill children throughout the UK.
