Starburst Theatre Company (STC) is a group of like-minded people who combine entertaining the community with raising money for local children’s charities. The company have been performing for the past 12 years, and are going from strength to strength at The Harlington Centre in Fleet.
To date, the company have raised approximately £36,000 for local charities including ‘The Make A Wish Foundation’, and ‘The Foundation For The Study of Infant Death’. For the past two years STC have been supporting ‘The Friends of Frimley Children’s Centre’. Donations have been used for physiotherapy equipment and for the painting of a colourful mural in the corridors of the centre to give a cheerful atmosphere for the young patients.
The Harlington Centre has housed STC productions including ‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘Dick Whittington’, ‘Oliver!’ and more recently, ‘Aladdin’. In this production 26 local boys and girls were recruited to represent the young citizens of Pekin.
Starburst has taken part in the ‘Fleet Carnival’ for the past two years, entering a colourful float in both years. Plus in the 2002 carnival celebrations they performed a cabaret entitled ‘The Starburst Theatre Company Sing Songs from the Shows’. This year STC will perform ‘Sing, Sing, Sing!’ which includes classics such as ‘Memory (Cats)’ and ‘Dirty Dancing’ also including a variety of war time favourites.
Stageworks in association with STC donate approximately £2,000 per year to the named charities.
The company has also appeared at the concert for Age Concern, with ‘The Steve King Big Band’ at the Wilde Theatre, South Hill Park, Bracknell.
Starburst is always happy to welcome new members, be it on stage or behind the scenes, there is always fun to be had!!

FRIENDS
of FRIMLEY CHILDREN’S CENTRE
Frimley
Children’s Centre provides a wide range of medical and allied professional
services for children with a variety of special needs.
THE
HISTORY
Opened
in 1909 as the local cottage hospital, the function of this well-known Frimley
landmark changed when the services were transferred in 1975 to the newly
commissioned Frimley Park Hospital.
The
old Edwardian Hospital was renamed The Frimley Children’s Centre whose express
purpose was to provide expertise and specialised treatment for children, since
then the F.C.C. has developed into a respected centre of excellence and the
demand for its services has increased in line with its reputation.
THE
PROBLEM
The
use of the centre has changed dramatically without a corresponding redesign and
refurbishment of the interior of the building. Despite the extreme dedication of
the staff, the layout and lack of space in the Centre cause inefficiencies and
frustration to both Staff and Parents. Even more important it imposes
constraints on treatment of the Children.
OUR
AIM
The
Friends of Frimley Children’s Centre, which is a registered
Charity, plans to raise sufficient funds to convert the ground
floor of The Frimley Children’s Centre into an efficient, modern
and attractive unit. The success of this ambitious project will
depend on the generosity of the whole community.
THE
SOLUTION
It
is anticipated that the conversion will be carried out in 5 phases. Each phase
will be self sufficient, to allow the Centre to operate with little or no
disruption to the Medical services
