Light Up Star House 2025

Event dates: Monday 24th November – Tuesday 23rd December

Between 24th November and 23rd December, Star House's Division Street-facing window will be filled with glowing stars – each one representing a message of hope and a donation supporting local young people.

Individuals, schools, community groups and businesses are invited to light up a star, choose a dedication (in celebration, in memory, or just for fun), and help light up Star House with support. Each star will be displayed prominently in our windows with a gift tag, and with your permission, we’ll also share your dedication and thanks online.

Donation tiers:
Individuals (small stars) - £10
Community groups and schools (medium stars) - £50
Companies (large stars) - £100

All proceeds will go directly to supporting our life-changing counselling services for 13-25 year olds in Sheffield. "Someone finally understands how I feel, it’s like putting my feelings into words. I feel understood and that I've actually got the words for things that I didn't know how to talk about before."

Light up your star and join us in making this Christmas, and beyond, a little brighter for Sheffield's young people. "I finally feel hopeful about the future."

Please ensure you leave your name, dedication and/or message so we can add this to your star. If you would like to make a general donation to our work, please get in touch with us at fundraising@sheffieldfutures.org.uk.

Alternatively, your information can be anonymous, so please feel free to leave your full dedication and message - or you can email us separately.

If you would like to donate towards multiple stars, please let us know in your donation message or via email. We can individualise each star.

We'd love to thank you for your donation on our socials and website. We will be in touch to ask you for your consent.

"Thank you for giving me someone I could trust."

If you are in a position to do so, we would also be very grateful if you could please consider contributing towards Give As You Live's platform fees. This ensures that your full donation supports our counselling services.

Thank you so much for your support.
