MAKE a Wish is a charity which grants wishes for children between three and 18 who live with life-threatening conditions.

A wish can be anything from meeting a pop star to having a palace in the back garden.

It is a truly joyous organisation that puts smiles on faces and magic into their lives at a time when they desperately need it.

We prefer to spend our funds on wishes rather than advertising.

I know many speakers' secretaries of various organisations are arranging their calendars for next year and I am appealing to any clubs or societies who would like me to give a presentation to their members about the work of the charity.

I tell about children I have met, wishes granted and memories that will last a lifetime. I am available on 07801 446099.
