- Gladys – who made a beautiful blanket for one of the Future Stars resident girls.
- Visioncare Optometry, Acomb – who host a recycling collection bin.
- Andrew – who sent letters and gifts to several of the Future Stars children.
…and so many more.
Whether you have a big budget or none at all, you can make a difference.

“I’m selling some unwanted items on ebay and donating a percentage to Chaffinch!”
“I sponsor a child through Chaffinch for less than £1 a day.”

Have a jar at home to put your money or IOU in so you don’t forget.
“I have a jar on my desk for loose change – I’ll donate it when it’s full.”
