Founded in early 2024 by Rutland man Bill Stillman, wishesjust4you is a charity which creates unforgettable experiences for children with life-limiting illnesses.  

The charity works with organisations across Leicestershire and Rutland to offer memorable activities for the children and their families, including boat trips, visits to fire stations, go-karting and even paragliding.

They have formed valuable connections with carers, nursing homes, children's hospices and other services across Rutland and Leicestershire. 

At its core, this group's mission is to create moments of joy for families going through such a difficult time, helping them to make the most of the limited time they have left together. 

According to the founder, Bill Stillman, wishesjust4you aims to 'create joyful experiences and lasting memories for children and their families facing incredibly difficult circumstances. We believe that spending quality time together as a family is invaluable, especially during such difficult times. Our goal is to find and facilitate sponsored activities that allow these families to enjoy moments of fun, laughter and connection.' 

There are several ways that local people can support this incredible charity, such as getting involved as a volunteer, becoming a patron, donating money to help with their operational costs or sharing their important work with others. 

There is also the opportunity for local businesses to offer a sponsored activity or experience.
