While Christmas is full of joy for so many, for many more it can be bittersweet. A time when the absence of loved ones is felt more deeply.

Celebrate Your Star offers a meaningful way to honour the memory of those loved and missed, while creating a positive impact for children with short lives.

More children and families need our support than ever before. When a child receives a life-limiting or life-threatening diagnosis, their family’s world is turned upside down. It’s a terrifying, lonely time – and help can’t wait. But with your help, they don’t have to.

By taking part in Celebrate Your Star, your gift will be a guiding light in someone’s darkest moments. Your support helps families find strength, comfort and hope – reminding them they don’t have to face this frightening journey alone.

You can dedicate a star to anyone close to your heart – a member of your family, a dear friend or colleague – whether they were supported by Acorns or not. Your kindness will provide essential care and support to families facing incredibly difficult times.

Visit our virtual Christmas tree to donate and dedicate your star to someone special.
