BTO Cares
BTO’s staff charity for 2018 is Brightest Star and we have been undertaking lots of great fundraising in aid of this special charity.
What is Brightest Star?
On the 19 December 2012, 6 days before his 6th Birthday, Jack Kennedy suddenly fell asleep in his mummy’s arms and became the brightest star in the sky. Brightest Star is the charity founded in his memory. The charity provides support to families following the death of a child at any age, from any cause of death.
Since it was established, Brightest Star has set up support groups in Glasgow and Edinburgh for bereaved parents; distributed memory boxes; provided group therapy; trained people in emergency paediatric first aid; donated cuddle cots and cuddle blankets to children’s wards and donated Christmas gifts. In February 2018 the charity finally achieved its aim of providing a custom built family ambulance that allows the parents to travel with their sick child.

In addition to supporting Brightest Star, BTO also sponsors Art in Healthcare and gets involved in a range of charitable activities.
