Livewire, a safe and fun online community for young people

The Starlight Children's Foundation is part of the Australian Children's Charities Forum, a group of national children's charities dedicated to directly helping seriously ill, disabled or disadvantaged children.

Starlight has recently launched Livewire, a safe and fun online community for young people (aged 10 to 21) living with a serious illness, chronic condition or disability.

Livewire is a supportive place for them to 'hang out', connect, share experiences, creatively express themselves and realise that they are not alone in their situation.
