Welcome to Five Stars Appeal Children's Charity

LEON TO WALK UNAIDED

One of Five Stars beneficaries, Leon was in need of help. He needed a life changing operation to help him walk again but when it was unavailable in the UK his family had to work hard and fund raise to get the money needed to send him for treatment in America.

Thanks to their hard work, fundraising and an extra £4000 from Five Stars, Leon was able to go to America for his much needed operation.

We are pleased to report that Leon is home and well after the operation. His Doctor predicts that Leon will be able to walk unaided in around 6 months. Leon also managed to stand for 5 seconds.

This is amazing news and a huge personal achievement for little Leon

Leons mum, Danielle said 'We thank you so much for your support and feel so grateful to everyone who has shown the unbelievable support during our fundraising. Leon's life will and already has changed forever '

Every one at Five Stars wishes Leon a speedy recovery and all the best for the future!

Press Bulletin to all national newspapers and all Manchester newspapers

Press Release Five Stars Appeal (a registered charity) 35 years old.

Five Stars Appeal Children’s Charity, helping children with life changing and life threatening illnesses, has confirmed that they intend to proceed with the organisation of the event of Miss Manchester 2012 tonight, the 25th April 2012. Various untrue allegations have appeared in certain sections of the press that have suggested that there are discrepancies in the charity’s figures, but the charity’s records have been confirmed as being accurate by the charity’s accountants, Champion Chartered Accountants.  The Charity Commission is aware of these rumours but have indicated that the charity is not under investigation.
The charity is very concerned that it should keep its good reputation for assisting children with life changing and life threatening illnesses and refers to its past record in donating in excess of £3.5M to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Officers and Trustees of the charity have reviewed the on going governance costs and implemented a number of cost cutting measures in accordance with modern business practice, sometimes at personal sacrifice.

The Five Stars Appeal rely upon their reputation for the continued support of members of the public to continue their fundamental work.

With the valued help of our many supporters we will be holding events, sponsored runs and corporate fundraising activities to help children with life changing and life threatening illnesses.
