About this opportunity

This is a flexible, volunteer-led role that fits around your lifestyle and commitments. You decide how you'd like to support Make-A-Wish and how much time you can give.

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. They'll provide guidance, resources, and support along the way.

Getting started as a Community Wish Maker is simple. Within your first few months, you'll choose a fundraising activity from their toolkit or create your own. This could be organising an activity independently, fundraising with friends, family or colleagues, teaming up with other local Community Wish Makers, or supporting 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.
