Influential Stars Relaunches Bigger, Better — Now It Needs You
Influential Stars relaunches bigger and better — and this time, it isn’t just an upgrade. It’s an invitation.
The UK fundraising platform has unveiled its next chapter with a renewed focus on bringing people together, turning everyday moments into meaningful impact. Whether you’re a creator, a collaborator, a supporter, or a charity, this relaunch puts participation front and centre.
Because here’s the reality. This platform doesn’t grow on clicks alone. It grows when people step in.
And right now, it needs you.
A Relaunch Built for Action, Not Observation
At its heart, Influential Stars exists to turn everyday generosity into real-world good. This relaunch isn’t about features or upgrades — it’s about opening the door wider and inviting more people to be part of the impact.
Right now, there are real causes waiting to be supported, real stories unfolding, and real opportunities to get involved in ways that feel positive and rewarding. Taking a moment to look around isn’t about learning a system — it’s about seeing where you might fit in.
You don’t need a huge following. You don’t need a platform. What matters is the willingness to step in.
All it takes is a BIG heart — and the curiosity to see what’s possible.
Real Impact, Powered by Participation
Since launch, Influential Stars has hosted 46 charitable prize draws, raising £6,854.31 for UK-registered charities and verified crowdfunding campaigns supporting life-limiting conditions.
However, what truly sets the platform apart is how that impact is generated. Up to 85% of net profits from each draw go directly to the chosen cause, with a guaranteed minimum donation of £50 per campaign.
This means every ticket matters. Every share counts. And every person who gets involved moves the needle.
The more people participate, the more powerful each campaign becomes. It’s that simple.
A Mission That Invites You In
Influential Stars was created by founder Lisa Connell following her diagnosis with an inoperable brain tumour. Instead of building a platform centred on obligation, she built one rooted in joy, generosity, and shared experience.
“I wanted something that feels good to give — where people enjoy the journey and the cause benefits in a meaningful way,” Lisa explains.
That belief shapes everything about the relaunch. The updated site makes the mission clearer and the entry points easier. It removes the idea that fundraising is something only “certain people” do.
Here, everyone has a role to play.
How You Can Get Involved — Right Now
The relaunch is about opening up more ways for people to get involved, whatever that looks like for them. There’s no single path to making an impact here — just different ways to show up and be part of something positive.
Some people step forward to lead, building campaigns around experiences and causes they care deeply about. Others prefer to support from the side-lines, sharing stories, starting conversations, and helping good ideas travel further. Both matter equally.
Then there are those who simply take part. They enter prize draws, enjoy the experience, and know their involvement is doing genuine good at the same time. It’s not passive giving — it’s participation with purpose.
No role is too small. No action is wasted. And every moment of support helps push a cause forward.
This is what makes Influential Stars different. Not who you are — but that you chose to get involved.
Experiences That Make Giving Memorable
At the heart of Influential Stars is the belief that shared experiences bring people closer together. Through initiatives like the FIT List Challenge and partnerships with Virgin Experience Days, fundraising becomes something people experience, not just support.
These moments aren’t about rewards or incentives. They’re about connection, anticipation, and doing something positive alongside others. That’s what makes taking part feel memorable, not transactional.
When campaigns are built around experiences, they naturally turn into stories people want to talk about and pass on. Participation feels exciting. Sharing feels natural. And causes benefit because communities grow around them.
That’s how engagement builds momentum. That’s why people stay involved. And that’s how real impact spreads.
Bigger, Better — But It Only Works With You
This relaunch marks a turning point for Influential Stars. It opens the door for more people to shape what comes next and be part of the impact.
What happens from here depends on those who choose to step in and take action. Progress grows when people show up, get involved, and move causes forward in their own way.
Some people will start campaigns. Others will share stories and spark conversations. Many will take part and support along the way.
Each of these actions creates momentum.
If you’ve ever felt the urge to do something meaningful but weren’t sure where to begin, this moment gives you a clear place to start. You don’t need a plan or prior experience. Willingness is enough.
Influential Stars is ready. The opportunity is here.
Now, it needs you.
