Sponsor a Superstar. Bring joy to a child. Support a family. Strengthen our community.
Sponsoring a Finlay’s Superstar isn’t just about helping one child — it’s about strengthening the whole community around them.
Finlay’s Superstars is our Friday morning pre-school sensory group at BounceOT in Stirling. It offers a calm, inclusive, sensory rich space where little ones with additional support needs can explore purposeful play, movement, connection, and regulation. No diagnosis is required. Families are welcomed exactly as they are.
The group began in 2021, founded by Jenni in loving memory of her son, Finlay, who had an extremely rare genetic condition and thrived through sensory play. From those early Sensory Tots Stirling sessions, one golden rule has always remained at the heart of the group:
Never apologise for your child.
That spirit continues today at BounceOT, where Finlay’s Superstars has found a new home in our therapeutic play room. Every Friday, children are supported to play, move, explore, and grow in a way that feels safe and meaningful for them. Small numbers help protect the calm, welcoming atmosphere, while trained staff and volunteers support children through choice-led, playful activities tailored to their needs.
But the impact goes far beyond the child attending.
When you sponsor a place, you are giving a family breathing room. You are helping reduce financial pressure. You are showing parents and carers that they are not alone, and that their community genuinely cares.
For many families, Finlay’s Superstars is more than a sensory group. It is a place to connect with other parents and carers, share stories over a cuppa and a biscuit, ask questions, feel understood, and join a supportive community that continues beyond the Friday session.
While children enjoy movement and regulation through multisensory play, including the trampoline, specialist equipment, fine-motor activities, turn-taking games, and imaginative play, grown-ups are also finding something important: connection.
Your support means parents feel less isolated. It means siblings feel included. It means children are welcomed as they are, without judgement or pressure. It means our group can keep offering affordable, accessible sessions that bring families together, build friendships, and create a network of understanding and encouragement.
A sponsored place helps us keep group sizes low, maintain a calm and supportive environment, fund sensory and play resources, look after specialist equipment, and pay staff fairly so the group can continue to thrive for the long term.
Every sponsored place becomes a ripple of kindness.
It helps boost a child’s confidence.
It supports a family’s wellbeing.
It helps keep our community inclusive, welcoming, and strong.
By sponsoring a Finlay’s Superstar, you are not only helping a child access play. You are helping a whole family feel seen, supported, and part of something special.
Sponsor a Superstar and help us keep Finlay’s Superstars small, calm, affordable, and full of big smiles.
