Jonathan and I have been involved with Rays of Sunshine for many years now, first starting as volunteers. Jonathan now sits on the executive board supporting the wider impact of the charity and I am now incredibly fortunate to work on a team that provides happiness, laughter, and helps to create positive distractions and precious memories to many seriously ill children being treated in hospital.

These hospitals days are a chance for children to laugh at the entertainers’ silly jokes, be enthralled by the magicians most mind-blowing tricks, and get lost in the therapeutic nature of arts and crafts. For the hours that we are there, they are simply children. It is an opportunity to be able to forget about their anxieties, or the fact that they are in hospital even if just for a short while. We bring the sunshine to them.

The restrictions imposed by Covid have impacted the way we work greatly and funds raised will enable us to continue with our adapted programme as it is now, but also when the times comes for us to return to hospitals across the country, we will be able to be bigger, brighter, and better than ever!

Over the years, Jonathan and I have had the privilege of meeting 100s of inspirational families and had the honour of hearing their stories and seeing just what a positive impact the services that Rays of Sunshine provide have on families at a time when they need it the most. We want to help ensure that future families can experience them and to become part of the Rays of Sunshine family. 

We hugely appreciate any support that you can offer this incredibly worthwhile cause.



Love Melissa, Jonathan, Olivia, Isabella & Teddy xx

Our campaign WHAT I WOULD GIVE… aims to capture the preciousness of a happy memory to families living through the unimaginable.

A reminder to be grateful for every second you spend with the people you love, and the power of positivity radiated by Rays of Sunshine to seriously ill children and families across the UK. 

Please donate now and help brighten the lives of seriously ill children across the UK. 



Thank you so much for your wonderful support!

Please help us to support Rays of Sunshine by making a generous gift to this amazing cause.  We, in our family, are all active within Rays and have seen first-hand the impact and importance of the work done by the charity. Whether it’s fundraising, working on hospital activity days, or helping to facilitate wishes, all of us have collaborated with the incredible Rays team to help brighten the lives of children and families across the U.K. who need it most! But now we are asking for your help!

Covid has been incredibly tough on the children, on their families and also the finances of Rays.  So please help us to succeed in our fundraising objective of being one of the top teams in the next few days.  It would mean a huge amount to us and also to this great cause we support.  Your gift WILL make a difference.  

A huge thanks from Richard, Debbi, Alex, Joe, Laura and Caroline

Dear Friend, 

I have from the age of 13 helped fund raise for charities from care homes to children’s wish charities both on an individual project by project basis and on a general fundraise.
 
Being a parent and a father of 6 healthy children I realised how lucky we all were and that I became determined to help other children who were less fortunate with their health and happiness living with a dark cloud over head.

Rays of Sunshine was born in 2003 through my endeavours and other likeminded individuals who wanted to make a difference by brightening the lives of sick children (including their families) both by granting wishes and occasionally providing much needed equipment to both the children/ families and hospitals.

We need to raise as much money as possible as the pandemic has cruelly robbed us of our normal fund raising gatherings for the last 12 months and we therefore are under even more pressure to raise money to pay for treats which sometimes replaces a majority of the wishes , equipment and the regular every day wish post lockdown.

Please donate now and help brighten the lives of seriously ill children across the UK. 

Thank you



Thank you so much for your wonderful support!

Please help me raise critical funds for Rays of Sunshine, the national children’s charity that I am the therapy dog for. For those of you who don’t know me so well I am a 3 year old Golden Retriever and all I want is to play and make everyone happy, I regularly visit children who are in hospital – just to brighten their day (and get lots of treats), we really need charities like Rays of Sunshine to be able to continue their work brightening the lives of seriously ill children, anything that you can donate will make a huge difference, for 36 hours only, between Sunday morning and Monday evening every single donation will be doubled!!


I have set myself a personal target of raising £1500 during the campaign – please help me reach my goal.

Lots of Love,

Fifty

xx

& Thank you to all our anonymous donors

Last year, Rays of Sunshine brightened the lives of over 13,000 seriously ill children at home and in hospital across the UK. The COVID-19 crisis has really highlighted the importance of Rays of Sunshine in helping spread happiness during the darkest times, and reminded us of how valuable moments of happiness are for seriously ill children and their families.

Against the odds and with income down by 63%, we continued to grant wishes for children with life limiting conditions, and the Rays of Sunshine community now shines brighter than ever.

We are hopeful that the grey clouds we have been under will soon lift and once again we will enjoy sunnier times. Sadly Rays of Sunshine knows that for many children and families living through the unimaginable this is not the case. Our ‘WHAT I WOULD GIVE…’ campaign will aim to capture the preciousness of a happy memory to families living through the unimaginable.

A reminder to be grateful for every second you spend with the people you love and the power of positivity that Rays of Sunshine brings to children and families across the UK.

Thank you for your amazing support!
