Making wishes come true in 2023 | Our charity partner, Make-A-Wish

27 Feb 2023

Recognising and celebrating the great community work our people do is also high on our agenda and it’s with this in mind, we launched a colleague volunteer programme in 2021 for colleagues to donate a day of their time covered by CitySprint. Our CSR approach is built around giving team members a voice so taking into account the diverse set of charity causes we’ve seen support for, we decided to offer colleagues the opportunity to vote for our charity partner this year. We are pleased to announce that the majority of voters chose Make-A-Wish Foundation as their preferred charity.

Right now, around 63,000 children in the UK are eligible for a wish because they have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. From the moment they are diagnosed, the simple pleasures of childhood and family life are replaced by worry, disruption, medical appointments, financial worries, and isolation.
