The Have a Heart Appeal

Through this year’s Have a Heart Appeal, Heart radio has the unique opportunity to provide lasting, year-round entertainment directly onto the wards for thousands of children in hospitals and hospices in the communities our radio stations serve.

Starlight Children’s Foundation

Starlight was founded 23 years ago by actress Emma Samms (Fallon from TV’s Dynasty) helping just 4 children in its first year.  Today, as well as being the UK’s leading wish-granting charity, Starlight is the only national charity providing fun, entertainment, laughter and distraction to over 500,000 hospitalised children every year, working in every children’s ward, hospital and hospice throughout the UK.

Some of these seriously and terminally ill children, have a Heart can help.

 Starlight grant magical wishes, creating happy memories for the whole family to share, whatever the future holds.

Have a Heart could even help Starlight’s wish children win their brave battle…70% of children go on to get better.

Our Aim:

To Help Starlight to provide Fun Centres – one for every children’s ward within the communities of Heart’s radio stations.  To raise £90,000 which would build and deliver onto the wards 30 brand new Fun Centres; one for each Heart region.

To significantly increase the number of wishes Starlight are able to grant every year from 500 up to an estimated 2,500 children who are diagnosed with life-threatening illness every year.

Have a Heart Starlight Fun Centres

The new fun centres will incorporate the latest technology including HD flat screen TV, Nintendo Wii and the latest games and film releases all straight to young patients’ bedsides.

Fun Centres can help to reduce the pain and anxiety felt by children in hospital, transforming their hospital experience postitively,and in some cases helping to reduce the need for pain relief by providing activities bedside for young patients. 

Why support the Have a Heart Appeal?

Every Heart radio listener’s child that needs treatment in hospital – however minor or serious – will benefit from this project.

A lasting legacy…each Have a Heart Starlight Fun Centre will entertain an estimated 5,000 children every year during its lifetime. Over five years Heart will help 750,000 sick children aged 3-18 yrs.

The wishes you help to grant will help children right now who are coping with the most desperate situations, and provide happy memories that will last them and their families a lifetime

“I was diagnosed late with a Wilms tumour.  I had the tumour and a kidney removed followed by intensive chemotherapy.  I am now 12, and I call myself a survivor.  My Starlight wish was priceless and I’ll never forget how happy it made me feel.” Pete.
