Change a life today. Donate now.
Every child deserves the chance to dream, grow, and succeed—but for care-experienced young people, the odds are often stacked against them. At First Star Scholars UK, we’re changing that.
By providing long-term academic, emotional, and life-skills support through our ground breaking programmes, we help young people in care unlock their potential and build brighter futures.
💛 Your Impact:
- £25 provides essential study materials for a scholar.
- £100 funds a life-changing workshop to build confidence and skills.
- £2,750 sponsors a scholar for an entire year, covering residential stays, mentoring, and academic support.
Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. Together, we can bridge the gap and ensure these young people have the opportunities they deserve.

First star is a place to build a story with people who are in a similar situation to your own. A place to learn life skills, go on fun activities and create everlasting memories.

I stayed because I feel like I fit in a lot of places, but this is where home is, they actually know every interior part of me. I don’t really tell people about my past and everything it's literally a secret; not a secret because I’m embarrassed, but its just easier to not let people kind of know you, but these people do and I definitely gained confidence
