Lifestars

Brightening up young lives across the North East of Scotland. At Lifestars, we believe every child, regardless of their background, deserves the chance to thrive. Founded in 2018, we are an Aberdeen-based charity dedicated to helping young people aged 5 to 18 build the essential life and social skills they need to flourish and contribute positively to their communities. Our mission is to remove barriers to inclusion and enhance education by equipping children with the skills, support, and confidence they need for a brighter future. Through enriching, active learning experiences that complement the school curriculum, we focus on developing communication, trust, leadership, pride, and confidence, key skills that serve children both inside and outside the classroom. We don’t just support children to succeed; we help them build inner belief and resilience that will guide them throughout their lives. Our life skills programme fosters empathy and connection, encouraging children to recognise their own power while lifting others up along the way. Lifestars provides inclusive, hands-on opportunities including sports, creative workshops, sensory activities, career guidance, and peer mentorship. We empower older students to lead and inspire younger peers, creating a positive ripple effect across schools and communities. 100% of every donation goes directly into delivering our programmes, with full transparency and a focus on making a lasting impact on local children’s lives. By uniting businesses, schools, volunteers, and supporters, we create a network of mentorship, encouragement, and opportunity that strengthens communities across the North East. Supporting Lifestars means being part of a charity that is nurturing, kind, inclusive, and committed to empowering children to grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. Join us in brightening up young lives and inspiring the next generation to believe in themselves and their future.
