About My WiSH Charity

Our History

The charity was entered on the Central Register of Charities on the 15th September 1995. It constituted of 91 individual funds and was managed on an ad-hoc basis 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 our amazing community and our staff all wanting to support their local Trust.
