Administration Volunteer – Taylor-Made Dreams
About this organisation
Taylor Made Dreams enables children with life limiting illnesses to achieve their dreams
We will source and financially support therapeutic services alongside their difficult journey and help to leave lasting, precious memories for families to cherish when time together is all far too short.
Our vision is that children with life limiting illnesses will have the opportunity to fulfil their dreams and that we may also provide their families with support from trained therapeutic professionals.
Primarily our aim is to assist in the creation of a unique ‘Wish List’, which is ‘Taylor-Made’ to meet the specific needs and desires of the individual child.
Our objective is to enable children and their families to experience unique quality time and experiences together, which otherwise may not have been possible without financial and emotional support.
