Christmas time is often thought of as that special time of year when family and loved ones come together during the festivities. Often the focus of Christmas is very much on children opening presents and having fun.
Unfortunately, Christmas time can also be a time of great sadness when loved ones are no longer with us, especially if the loved one was a child.
This year, the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust would like to give parents, families and friends a chance to honour their child or loved one who is sadly no longer here. We are proud to be able to launch our first ever Stars of Light campaign where we can honour those special to us.
We are inviting you to name a virtual shining star in memory of loved ones taken too soon. If you choose to do this, you can give the star a name and leave a message as well.
Would you like a star to hang on your Christmas Tree in memory of your loved one?
For those who name a virtual star and donate over £10, we would love to send you a wooden star of light to hang on your Christmas tree. To receive one, please select the option available in the checkout.

The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust was set up in memory of Grace, who passed away at the age of 4, from a rare form of childhood cancer. Grace left behind a wish to help other children. Through her legacy (and now the legacy of a number of other children too), we are working to support so many other children. We are dedicated to fighting childhood cancer, the biggest medical cause of death of children in the UK.
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust is a small but growing charity with much of its work central to Worcestershire. We were founded in 2016 in Worcestershire, Grace’s hometown, and it is here that we remain based. We do carry out national work too in terms of awareness and funding research, but we are dedicated to helping support our local children with cancer too.
Childhood cancer is not as rare as many may think. It affects 1 in every 500 children before the age of 15.
“Because the children of today all deserve a tomorrow.”
