“Please come along on the day and help raise funds to allow us to continue to accept all of the Wish Box applications we receive for children and young people with cancer.

“Income for Jamie’s Wish has suffered over the last year as requests for personally-tailored Wish Boxes have risen greatly.

“Last year’s income from fundraising and grants was down by 50 per cent, as it has become harder for all small charities to raise funds in the current economic climate.”
