Emily’s Star recognised at Pride of Britain Awards
Katie Mainwaring Founder & CEO of Emily’s Star Children’s charity has been nominated and is a regional finalist in the fundraiser of the year category at ITV’s Pride of Britain Awards.
The charity provides essential support, resources, and opportunities for premature babies and children & young adults with life limiting conditions in Milton Keynes.
This is what Katie had to say, “To be acknowledged as a finalist is unbelievable & I am so proud of everything we have achieved in Emily’s name! I’ve watched all 3 other regional finalist’s & I am honoured to be considered alongside these incredible people! Everything I do, I do with Emily in my heart, I love the families we support & that up & down the UK families learn about Emily because of her charity! But I am not a fundraiser, we are fundraisers… we are a team & I could not do without my support network!”.

Founder of Emily's Star
Hi, I’m Katie, the founder of Emily’s Star.
I set up Emily’s Star in memory of my daughter Emily, with the mission to ensure that no family ever feels alone or isolated like I did. Supporting others through the charity means so much to me, and I’m incredibly proud of the work we do.
I’m a mum to both Emily & Jake, married to Ben, and a very proud aunty to Inaaya—family is everything to me, and we love spending time together. Outside of the charity, I’m also a football coach, which I really enjoy. Oh, and I can’t forget Pepper, our cat, who keeps us all on our toes!
Everything I do is driven by love, family, and making a difference.
