7 Stars Foundation - Shine Bright Fund

Grants for charities to purchase educational, wellbeing, or recreational items for young people, aged 16 years old or under, aligned to our prioritised themes.

This programme was initially launched as a response to the Covid 19 pandemic. Here, we fund charities to purchase educational or recreational items (such as books, wellbeing journals, stress packs, arts and crafts for creative play therapy etc) which will help young people reduce stress and feel happier and more secure. Our Shine Bright programme differs from the other programmes because it provides funds for specific ‘things’ rather than a project. This year, our Shine Bright programme wishes to focus on alleviating the difficulties faced by children and young people due to the cost of living crisis.
