Happy New Year from Lifestars 🥳 Thank you for standing beside us this year and helping create spaces where children feel supported, confident and ready to shine. Your kindness has helped us reach even more young people across the North East. Here’s to 2026. A year of growth, connection and bright moments for every child we work with. #HappyNewYear #2026

As the year comes to a close, we are taking a moment to reflect on everything we’ve achieved together. 💛 This year at Lifestars, we empowered children across our schools to grow in confidence, develop vital life skills, and discover their potential through fun, active learning experiences. From lunchtime skills sessions and careers fairs to trips and unforgettable moments in between, every experience gave children the chance to grow, connect, and shine. None of this would be possible without the support of our schools, partners, volunteers and wider community. Thank you for believing in what we do and for helping us create brighter futures for young people across the North East. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from all of us at Lifestars. 🌲🎅 #MerryChristmas #2025Reflection
