Wishesjust4you have launched their 2025 fundraising initiative, hoping to raise over £100,000 to fund support for children and young people with life-limiting illnesses. 

The charity, which was founded in 2023 by Oakham man Bill Stillman, have announced they will be raising funds with a Celebrity Postcard Art Auction, inviting artist, celebrities, VIPs and creatives to get involved.

The auction will sell original, post-card-sized artworks, created by artists and celebrities, with 100% of the proceeds going towards supplying art materials to children in NHS hospitals, as well as carrying out 'wishes'. 

These 'wishes' are totally personalised experienced for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families, creating memorable moments to cherish forever. 

So far, they have completed over 20 wishes for children and their families, including sailing, farm visits, paragliding and more. 

They have also donated paper, card and art materials to over 50 NHS children's hospitals across the UK. 

There will be an online exhibition of all donated paintings and artwork on the website: www.wishesjust4you.co.uk and the auction will take place between 1st and 31st October.
