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.
