School Select supports a new charity each academic year (i.e. September – August). This year we are delighted to promote and support the Starlight Children's Foundation which brightens the lives of seriously and terminally ill children by granting their wishes and providing hospital entertainment to help take their minds off the pain, fear and isolation of their illness.
