LATEST STARSHIP NEWS AND PROJECTS.
With the help of customer donations, we're able to make a real difference for the kids at Starship. Learn more about the incredible ways our customer donations have helped make a difference.
Don't forget, it’s easy to add a small donation to your monthly bill or to make a one-off donation.
Together, by giving just a little, we can help make a real difference to the lives of thousands of Kiwi kids and their families.

A LITTLE GUY WITH THE X FACTOR
Lennox is a very special little boy. A real fighter. At 20 weeks of pregnancy a heart-defect was spotted, at birth he was put into intensive care, and at 3 weeks he was moved to the Starship National Children’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for open heart surgery.

EVERYONE DESERVES TO LIVE IN A HEALTHY HOME
But sadly, many New Zealand families don't. Cold, damp homes lead to over 15,000 kids being admitted to Starship every year with preventable illnesses. That's why the Starship led Healthy Homes initiative was created. Hundreds of families' homes have been made warmer and drier with curtains, draught stoppers, heating and blankets.
As a part of this initiative, Starship has provided 18,400 curtains to 1,435 families in need.
