Community Wish Maker

Right now, 91 children in the North East are waiting for their life changing wish — part of a much bigger picture of children across the UK still waiting for theirs.

You can help make that happen, from as little as one hour a month.

Every pound you help raise goes directly towards granting wishes for children facing critical illnesses, creating hope, joy, and unforgettable memories for families who need it most.

This is a flexible, ad hoc, volunteer-led role that fits around your lifestyle and commitments.

There are no set fundraising targets or fixed weekly hours. You decide how you'd like to support Make-A-Wish and how much time you can give.

Fundraising is at the heart of this role and is driven by your own ideas, local connections, and enthusiasm.

Whether it's organising a community event, engaging local businesses, securing donations, or encouraging others to get involved, you'll help generate the funds needed to grant wishes. We'll provide guidance, resources, and support along the way.

• Organise an activity independently
• Fundraise with friends, family or colleagues
• Team up with other local Community Wish Makers
• Support an existing Make-A-Wish fundraising campaign or event
• Whether it's a bake sale, quiz night, sponsored challenge, workplace fundraiser, school activity or local business partnership, you'll be helping raise the funds needed to grant more wishes

We'll provide resources, guidance and support to help you succeed.
