The concept of paying it forward is important to us. Corporate social responsibility is essential and we believe it is just as important at a community level.

At Star Source we support the following initiatives:

Trish MS Foundation

Trish MS Research Foundation Ball – 10 September 2011
Carol Langsford, Chairman,
Trish MS Research Foundation and Steph

The Trish Multiple Sclerosis Research Foundation has very specific aims for the research projects for which the money is being raised. The Foundation is focused on achieving its goal, all our research funds being put towards an ultimate cure, in other words myelin protection, repair or restoration.

The Foundation is very determined to work hard and raise a great deal of money for research in the hope that others will not have to suffer as Trish Langsford did. If the legacy that Trish leaves has been a cure for this debilitating disease, she will not have suffered in vain. The Foundation was set up because, watching Trish suffer in the nursing home with end stage MS, her family and friends decided to establish a Foundation named after Trish with the specific goal of working towards finding a cure for MS and eventually prevention.

World Vision

The best way to change a child's life is to change the world in which they live.
By sponsoring a child, we help to bring about long-term benefits to the child, their family and community. Our support will help to fund vital development work in the child's community, such as digging wells, improving sanitation and building health clinics.

This work ensures that the child’s community is able to provide the children with the basics they need, in turn helping them to grow up in a healthy environment and have the chance for a better future.

Star Source has been a long term supporter of World Vision and has sponsored five children over the past 20 years:

Abrha Abrha Gebremedhin – Ethiopia

Abrha was born on 3/6/1987 and loves to play football.

Nabila Sultana - Bangladesh

Nabila was born on 03/04/2001 and her favourite game is playing with dolls.
