Shining Stars

Shining Stars is a wonderful award scheme for young fundraisers. Here at Willow Wood we’re so very grateful to the young members of our community who not only raise vital money to help us maintain our services, but who become wonderful ambassadors for Willow Wood, that we’ve initiated awards – just for them!

There are three levels – Bronze, Silver and Gold.Fundraising can be done by just one or two children, as for example when Annie & Alfie Shaw sold Christmas Flumpets to classmate at the Cheadle Heath Primary, raising the grand total of £100. Or the fundraising can be done over a period of time by a whole school or group.St Peter’s Primary in Ashton have nominated Willow Wood as their Charity of the Year and will be doing lots of activities to raise as much as they can for us over the coming months.Even some of the staff are getting involved with a number signing up for our IKEA Abseil!

Community fundraiser, Chris Hayden is happy to attend school assemblies to talk about Willow Wood, community partnerships and the importance of fundraising. He may even be accompanied by our mascot, Woody who very quickly becomes a favourite of the children he meets.Chris said “We’re very proud when children and young people become involved with us and we want to ensure that they feel proud of their achievements too.Shining Stars is just a small way to show our appreciation of their efforts.”
