The 7stars Foundation is a registered charity that supports the most challenged young people in the United Kingdom.

The Foundation aims to relieve the needs and suffering of children aged 16 years old and under; in particular those who face challenges caused by:

o Abuse.
o Addiction.
o Child Carers for sick and/or disabled adults, 
and
o Homelessness.

UK registered charities with an annual turnover of under £1.5 million may apply for a project grant of up to £2,500 (with no matched funding requirement) which enable young people to:

o Address a lack of provision (due to a lack of funding from alternative sources) in geographical areas of deprivation and socioeconomic disadvantage.

o Have the best start in life and aim high.
o Provide immediate support, not just in the short-term but with long-term benefits too,

1. Project grants to charities aligned to the Foundation’s funding priorities and age range.

Shine Bright funding for regional charities during COVID-19. Funding enables charities to purchase wellbeing, emotional and mental health support items or educational, creative resources for the young people they support to promote happiness in a time of worry and anxiety. (Beneficiaries are selected and items are purchased/distributed by the charity partner.)
3. 
Direct grants funding to individuals affected by the themes prioritised by the Foundation, supported by outreach/social/care workers or legal professionals. (Applications must be submitted by the supporting professional.), and
