Become a Community Wish Maker - In London & Greater London
Right now, 103 children in the Greater London region are waiting for their life changing wish — part of a much bigger picture of children across the UK still waiting for theirs. You can help make that happen, from as little as one hour a month.
Help Make Wishes Come True
Every pound you help raise goes directly towards granting wishes for children facing critical illnesses, creating hope, joy, and unforgettable memories for families who need it most.
What Makes This Role Different?
This is a flexible, ad hoc, volunteer-led role that fits around your lifestyle and commitments. There are no set fundraising targets or fixed weekly hours. You decide how you'd like to support Make-A-Wish and how much time you can give.
Fundraising is at the heart of this role and is driven by your own ideas, local connections, and enthusiasm. Whether it's organising a community event, engaging local businesses, securing donations, or encouraging others to get involved, you'll help generate the funds needed to grant wishes. We'll provide guidance, resources, and support along the way.
How You'll Get Started
Getting started as a Community Wish Maker is simple. Within your first few months, you'll choose a fundraising activity from our Community Fundraising Toolkit or create your own fundraising idea.
You can:
- Organise an activity independently
- Fundraise with friends, family or colleagues
- Team up with other local Community Wish Makers
- Support an existing Make-A-Wish fundraising campaign or event
- Whether it's a bake sale, quiz night, sponsored challenge, workplace fundraiser, school activity or local business partnership, you'll be helping raise the funds needed to grant more wishes
We'll provide resources, guidance and support to help you succeed.
What We're Looking For
You don't need fundraising experience—just enthusiasm, initiative, and a desire to make a difference.
We're looking for people who are:
- Confident building relationships and engaging others
- Self-motivated and proactive
- Creative in finding fundraising opportunities
- Organised and reliable
- Positive, enthusiastic, and passionate about helping others
What we will do for you:
- You will receive a 12 week induction training
- Community Fundraising Volunteer Toolkit to help you get started
- A one-to-one introductory phone call with a member of our team
- Materials to get you started in your role
- A dedicated Volunteer manager
- Access to connections & networks in your region
- Make-A-Wish email address / ID Badge / Letter of Authority to help with your fundraising
- Help & support you with ideas and steward you as much as you would like
- Regular volunteer newsletters with updates, opportunities, and useful information
Commitment
Aged 18 or over
Commitment of at least 12 months

As a small but fast-growing charity, we have a strong trustee board in place but are looking to bring in new trustees to help in our new phase of growth and ensure a sustainable future. We are therefore looking for trustees who want to get closely involved in setting the strategy, direction and priorities of Write Back as we transition from new ‘start-up’ into a more established charity. We are therefore looking for individuals with:
● A strong commitment to the work of Write Back and empowering young people.
● The passion and enthusiasm to throw themselves into a new and exciting charity for young people to help us in our next phase of growth.
● The ability and experience of working at a strategic level, providing expert oversight, advice and guidance.
● The skills and temperament to collaborate effectively in a small, growing organisation.
● A good understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of charity trusteeship and an appreciation of the personal implications.
● A demonstrable commitment to equality and diversity.
We anticipate growing our trustee board significantly over the next 6-12 months. Our initial priority will be recruiting someone who is at least one of the following:
●experienced in financial processes and oversight.
● experienced in education, such as a qualified teacher.
● experienced in growing a small company or charity, in particular with legal, HR or other operational or governance matters.
● Under the age of 25 and who have lived experienced of the issues Write Back is trying to solve.
However, we are open to applications from a variety of backgrounds and would encourage you to get in touch if you are interested. We are intending to recruit 2 - 3 trustees in total.
Core requirements:
● This is a voluntary unpaid role, for which any reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
● Your initial term will be for 2 years, with the possibility of renewal.
● Attendance at trustee meetings every two months (either online or in person, for roughly 90 minutes), as well as preparation for these meetings and any follow-up tasks. We estimate the time commitment to be no more than one day per month in total.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
