Harrogate firm links up with national charity to bring joy to seriously ill children
A Harrogate firm is issuing a festive call-to-action this Christmas for people to pledge an act of kindness on social media in support of a charity which helps seriously ill children.
Harrogate-based company Lights4fun, which grew from being a family business around the kitchen table in 2003, has teamed up with Starlight, a national charity for children’s play to boost their wellbeing and resilience during illness.
The new campaign features a call-to-action to pledge an act of kindness on social media and, also a range of Christmas charity products by Lights4fun.
Sarah Woods, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Starlight, said, "Thousands of children will wake up on Christmas Day in a hospital ward.
"Starlight works to help make this experience a better one for children.
"The #ShareYourSparkle campaign is a heartfelt initiative to inspire acts of kindness and support the charity.
"We hope that people get behind it and pledge kindness around the festive season.
"What better way to celebrate Christmas this year than to take part in this wonderful campaign?”
Starlight estimates there will be 150,000 seriously ill children who will wake up in hospital alone this Christmas.
