How You Can Help

Could you offer some time to join our 

Queen's Award Winning Volunteer Team?

Before you find out how to join us...


take a moment to read about...


what we would do with the funds raised...with your help...!

You can now donate or setup your own fundrasing page on our  very own fundraising platform.


Check it out with the button below!

We are proud to say that...

and it's worth repeating... 

None of our Trustees, Officers, or any of our volunteers take ANY wage or salary from the funds

we raise from your money either 

donated or sponsored...

EVER!

Insurance, printing, promotion, phone call costs etc. These are kept to a minimum.

Running our charity has inevitable and unavoidable costs. However you can rest assured that the Trustees shop around for the best deals, ask for discounts where appropriate and are pleased to say that some of our costs are covered directly by sponsors, who are happy that their money is used against running costs, or they sometimes pay for the services we receive, or give us services for free. This means the efforts of our fundraisers is used as much as possible to fulfill our aims of giving gifts.

We make the best use of all funds raised...

When purchasing the wish gifts, and family outings we always "ask" for discounts. We never expect anything for free, (it's not fair to expect it's nice when it happens!) and make sure the value of the "smile giving gift" is the best we can supply within our stated budget. We do not waste money buying the first one we see, but shop around. Its hard work, and often time consuming but it's a good example of how we make sure your money goes as far as possible...

Mikayla Needs YOU...

Team Mikayla could really do with your help! Reading this far, we hope that means you have an interest in offering us a little of your time to help a great cause? If, so... That's Brilliant news...


We are blessed with a great core team of Trustees & Volunteers, that do such a good job, that we have been recognised by The Queen, The King, a Prince, a Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, and County Lord Lieutenants!


However, the Trustees and our volunteers sometimes have clashes with events, or events that coincide with personal commitments, or we are offered to attend events, that we have to turn down because we do not have enough people to help on that particular day.


So we are looking to add to our growing list of people that we can call on, those who may be willing to offer a few hours, every now and then, or maybe if we are lucky... you can give lots of hours more often to help us keep the events rolling! 


Often just a couple of hours is enough, perhaps to cover a break, lunch breaks at longer events, or we may need an entire team, so we can be at two events on the same day.


Help setting up stall, manning the stall, selling raffle tickets, clearing and packing up afterwards is the sort of things we would like people to help us with. Could you represent Team Mikayla at your own event?. 


What ever you can offer, it will be appreciated by the children we grant wishes to, and would add to our ability to maximize our fundraising efforts.


To get in touch, use our contact us page and send us a message, telling us about yourself and the sort of jobs you are happy to undertake. We will contact you for an informal chat.


We are a nice bunch of people! Any commitment you make, is on your own terms, times etc, we would only require that you are 100% reliable to carry out your offered help.


Dipping you toe in to find out more is the first step.


With Love

Mikayla

02

Join us as a Volunteer...

Whether it is a skill behind the scenes or helping to man a stall at an event, offering a few hours,  once a year or be on hand to help us out at any time, the Trustees are always grateful for that extra help to be able call on when needed, especially when we may have to turn down events because we are already committed.

Events are usually planned well in advance, however Santas' Sleigh may breakdown on his way to the hospital.... That will need urgent assistance! Please call for a chat with us and tell us what you can do.

03

Donate via Sponsorship...

All the guys and gals who do fantastic stuff for us seek sponsorship in many ways. You can make a donation to a particular event or person via the donation page. These people who do it for Team Mikayla need your support.

04

Donate via Standing Order...

We have supporters who make a regular donation via a standing order from their bank to ours. They retain control on, when, how much, how often and when to stop. We are grateful for all funds no matter how small or irregular and will use them wisely.
