About Starlight

Starlight is the UK’s leading children’s healthcare charity focused on the power of play. We support children to experience moments of joy and resilience through play during hospital stays, treatment and recovery. Play helps children cope, reduces trauma and anxiety, and improves engagement with healthcare.

Despite its impact, play is often overlooked in healthcare settings. Our work ensures that every child’s right to play is protected and prioritised – because play isn’t just fun, it’s fundamental.

Our Culture

We believe that our success depends upon focusing on our purpose and business results. We take individual and collective responsibility for a culture where everyone can belong, feel safe and thrive. Our values are the agreed standards that govern our behaviour and are central to our decision-making and the choices that we make. Our colleague development programme focuses on individual awareness of our own values, strengths, and preferences –what makes us who we are – to help all colleagues think for themselves, manage their environment, and make appropriate, balanced decisions for themselves, others and Starlight. We believe that our strength is in our differences and constantly strive towards an authentic workplace culture with equity, diversity, and inclusion as central principles.

With sustained funding from leading grant makers, the playground has since gone from strength to strength, winning Coolest Place to Play in the 2015 London Play Adventure Play Awards. It is now embarking on further development with a capital programme to replace the indoor play spaces, having already replaced the outdoor play structures and built new changing facilities which make our two sports pitches accessible to children with special needs.
