Starlight voted as Annual Charity 2012!
Our new UK Annual Charity for 2012, as voted for by the employees, is Starlight. Starlight brightens the lives of seriously and terminally ill children by granting them once-in-a-lifetime wishes and providing entertainment in hospitals and hospices to help take their minds off the pain, fear and isolation of their illness.
Starlight has pledged to use the Charitable Trust's £100,000 donation to help restore the magic of childhood for sick children all over the UK.
Employees will support our new Annual Charity throughout the year by getting involved in a whole range of activities, fundraising events and volunteering.
It’s a very special charity and we look forward to welcoming them in the New Year.
A message from Starlight
“We are absolutely delighted that Man employees have chosen to help Starlight brighten the lives of seriously and terminally ill children. We all look forward to working together with everyone at Man to grant many 'wishes-of-a-lifetime' to many very poorly children and providing fun and entertainment for children in hospitals and hospices throughout the UK. Your support will be transformational in helping to bring fun, joy and laughter into the lives of Starlight Children, giving them and their families’ happy memories to share, whatever the future may hold. Thank you for choosing Starlight!”
