What an incredible year Gez Varney and friends have had. This year they have raised £40,343.91. This is a phenomenal amount for the Charity and has been used towards the 412 wishes that the Charity has been able to grant this year.

This year has been the busiest on record that the Charity has ever had.
Gez along with Matty Phillips, Tara Stacey, Lisa Kirkpatrick, his family, friends and neighbours has now raised a grand total of £170,199.40 over the course of the last 5 years.
We are eternally grateful to you all and so are all of the children and the families that you have helped.
There are so many families from this community that the Charity has been able to grant wishes for who all have very poorly children and we know they would all join with us to say THANK YOU for all you are doing.
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank you and God bless to you all.

We cannot, for reasons of confidentiality, publish photographs of the children. If you would like to visit our website www.wishes4kids.co.uk and click on Gallery you will be able to see a lot of happy, smiling faces which could not have been achieved without your help.
On behalf of the children, their families and everyone at the Charity please accept our heartfelt thanks for your kindness, hard work and continued support.
