Thank You for Lighting Up the Night for Finlay’s Superstars
Celebrating Our 5K Supernova Fundraiser

In March, our small but mighty team came together under the glow of the Supernova lights to support Finlay’s Superstars at Bounce OT—and what a night it was. Whether you walked, ran, cheered from the sidelines, or donated from afar, you helped create something truly amazing.

Together, we raised an incredible £1,504.62 — a truly fantastic result that will make a real difference for the children and families who rely on Finlay’s Superstars.

This year’s 5K Supernova fundraiser wasn’t just an event. It was a celebration of acceptance, inclusion and the belief that every child deserves a space where they can shine. And thanks to your generosity, that space will continue to grow.

A Heartfelt Thank You
To every participant who braved the evening chill (thankfully the rain stayed off!), every family who shared our story, and every donor who contributed—thank you. Your support means more than you know.

That £1,504.62 raised will help ensure that Finlay’s Superstars, our pre school group for children with additional support needs, can continue running as a safe and nurturing place for little learners and their parents.

How Your Donations Will Make a Difference
Every pound raised goes directly back into supporting the children and families who rely on this group. Here’s how your kindness will be put to work:

Keeping Sessions Affordable for All Families
We are committed to ensuring that cost is never a barrier to early support. Your donations help us keep session fees low—so any family who needs us can access the group without financial worry.

Enhancing Sensory and Play Resources
Funds will be used to purchase new sensory toys and equipment that help children regulate, explore, and engage in meaningful play. These resources are essential for building confidence and early developmental skills.

Supporting Motor and Life Skill Development
From balance equipment to fine motor tools, your contributions help us provide high quality materials that support children in developing the everyday skills they need for independence.

Creating an Inclusive, Accessible Environment
Your donations help us ensure our environment at Bounce OT means every child feels welcomed, understood, and able to participate fully.

Offering Parent Support and Community Connection
Finlay’s Superstars isn’t just for children—it’s a lifeline for parents too. Funds help us continue offering a warm, supportive environment where families can connect, share experiences, and feel part of a community.

You Helped Us Keep the Magic Alive
Finlay’s Superstars was created to give children with additional support needs a place to grow, play, and be celebrated for exactly who they are. Thanks to your generosity, we can continue offering this vital support—and keep it accessible to every family who needs it.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping our Superstars shine.
