Kayleigh's Wee Stars is a North-East charity based in Oldmeldrum, set up in 2012 by Jonathan and Anna Cordiner after losing their 2 year old daughter Kayleigh to terminal illness.

At that time, they met many families where there was a child with a terminal illness, but who were also coping with additional challenging situations parents facing unemployment or financial crisis.

Money is the last thing parents should have to worry about at such an impossible time, and so they established Kayleigh's Wee Stars to provide financial support to families based in Scotland where there is a child with a terminal diagnosis.

Families use grants from Kayleigh's Wee Stars to make memories through a special family holiday, buy specialist equipment to help their child or to relieve financial strain to allow parents to take time off work and enjoy precious time with their child.
