Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity exists to grant the wishes of terminally and seriously ill children between the ages of 3-18 who live in the United Kingdom. With your help they and their families can experience the joy and excitement of doing something they've only ever dreamt of before.
Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity was formed in 2004 to help seriously and terminally ill children. It does this by:
- Granting these children’s wishes however impossible the wish may seem
- Purchasing equipment such as electric wheelchairs or hoists to make their lives easier
- Helping hospitals, hospices and specialist schools improve their facilities
With your help and support together we can turn wishes into happy memories.
