Dear Friend,

Spring is here and we are all looking forward to bringing lots of happiness to wish children all over Ireland. I am delighted to let you know your support in 2013 helped us grant an amazing 210 wishes. 

Looking back on 2013 - it was a year for doing things for the first time. Our inaugural Wish Band Day which took place on April 12th 2013, raised almost €53,000, and our Christmas Campaign raised just over €30,000. In the latter end of the year we introduced Wish Kindle which was a brand new campaign that gave us the opportunity to share many of the wonderful wish stories of our precious families both on radio, press and TV. 

2013 was a challenging year, but we remain positive and realistic in our outlook in 2014. We have over 180 eligible children patiently waiting on their wishes this year. We rely on your support as we do not receive any government funding whatsoever.

We are proud to confirm that our Organisation complies with the Governance Code for the Community, Voluntary and Charitable Sector in Ireland. I thank you on behalf of the wish families who inspire our work, for your continued help. 

Let’s make a difference! Thank you for your support. 

Susan O'Dwyer

Chief Executive
