We’re hugely grateful to Northallerton Methodist Church Choir, of which Wendy was a member, for raising funds for Wendy’s Wish at their forthcoming concert. It would be fantastic to see lots of people there to enjoy a special evening of music.
Rotary Club of Northallerton Charity Day
We are very grateful to the Rotary Club of Northallerton for inviting us to have a stall at their recent Charity Day. Huge thanks to everyone who supported us by donating prizes for our tombola and buying tickets on the day. You helped us to raise valuable funds.
Car Boot Sales
Last year we did a series of Car Boot Sales at Bedale Hall, North Yorkshire and we plan to be there again some Saturdays throughout this year. Look out for us and please come and say hello.
Let's Go Recycle Sponsors Football Team
We continue to be very grateful to Ian Harvey, of Let's Go Recycle, who organises collections for us in Liverpool and raises valuable funds for us. Ian has recently sponsored a local football team and has included our logo. We wish Ian and the team well.
Visit of Rishi Sunak
We were delighted to recently meet Rishi Sunak, the MP for Richmond and Northallerton, at Archers Removals of Northallerton. Archers donate hundreds of books, which they collect from house clearances etc, to Wendy’s Wish and we are able to sell these to raise valuable funds. Mr Sunak became the chief box-packer during his visit and expressed a keen interest in the work that we do. He also thanked Archers, to whom we are enormously grateful, for the work they do in supporting Wendy’s Wish.
Visits to Liverpool
In the space of 6 months, we have been privileged to visit Liverpool twice to see how some of our funds are being used.
The first visit, in November 2023, was to meet James, the PhD student we are funding, and to renew acquaintance with other members of the LOORG staff. We were given another tour of the research labs and James explained to us in detail the work that he is carrying out.
Our second visit, yesterday, was the the St Paul’s Eye Unit, in the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital, where for the first time we saw the new ultrasound machine which Wendy’s Wish purchased. We were delighted to hear this machine described as a ‘game changer’ and to know that it is doing exactly what Wendy wanted and making a difference in diagnosing the various forms of eye cancer.
Huge thanks to all our supporters, who continue to give generously to our charity.

Let's Go Recycle in Liverpool
HUGE thanks to Let's Go Recycle who are now organising collections on our behalf in Liverpool and the surrounding area. We're also very grateful to the staff at LOORG (Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Group) for donating such a fantastic amount of clothing. Here is Ian from Let's Go Recycle collecting the donations from the staff at LOORG. Wendy would be so pleased that we have this connection with Liverpool, given how much of her treatment took place there.
Meeting Prof Sarah Coupland from LOORG
We were delighted to recently meet Prof Sarah Coupland from the Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Group (LOORG) when she came to visit us at home. This gave us the opportunity to hand over the cheque for the latest £35,000 and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped us to raise this money to support their vital research.
