My Wish Charity

In today's episode, Martin and Patrick return to their second home at the West Suffolk Hospital to visit the offices of My Wish Charity and meet up with Sue Smith (Head of fundraising) and her colleague Tanya Fifield (Fundraising Officer).

The charity was entered on the Central Register of Charities on the 15th of September 1995. It constituted 91 individual funds and was managed ad ad-hoc by the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust’s Finance department.

A part-time fundraising manager was employed in May 2010 to help the Trust manage its fundraising income and to work with the local community on increasing the number of donations. The response from the community was fantastic, so much so that in November 2011 a part-time fundraising assistant joined the fundraising team for 2 days per week.

In May 2016 the decision was made to rebrand the charity launching under the new name of My WiSH Charity. This decision has seen the charity go from strength to strength thanks to the amazing community and staff all wanting to support their local hospital.

My WiSH Charity is the local NHS Charity. They are not here to replace the NHS but to enhance the wonderful care patients receive at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust includes West Suffolk Hospital, Newmarket Community Hospital, and the community services they both provide. Its care is second to none, however, its budget is not limitless. With public help, they can support all their services enabling their wonderful staff to go that extra mile.
