“We reached 1,200 children last year. We know, if we had the resources, we could reach 63,000”. This is the status of growth at Make-a-Wish UK in the words of its Director of Finance & Technology Sarah Watson. 

If the funding were available, the organisation could increase its impact 50-fold, making dreams come true for a significant number of children across the UK facing critical illnesses. 

This is one of the key points to highlight the importance of her position within the charity, and the need for its team to innovate and deliver new ways of working. Not only does this require monetary support, but information and guidance as to how Make-A-Wish UK can journey into the digital era and reap the benefits of everything technology has to offer.
