In 2003, Rays of Sunshine was formed as a national children's charity that brightens the lives of seriously ill young people in the UK aged three to 18 years old. We do this by granting individual wishes, granting hospital ward wishes and organising outings and large-scale events.

This year marks our 15th Birthday and we want you to join us in celebrating!

Its as easy as 1, 2, 3 to get involved...

1. Donate whatever you can, big or small, as a special birthday present for the charity.

2. Host your own Rays of Sunshine birthday party! It can be anything from an office potluck lunch or celebratory birthday bake sale in aid of the charity. We even have a special baking pack available for download to make your birthday party the ultimate success: http://bit.ly/RoSBakeOff

3. Use the special birthday hashtag #15YearsOfSunshine and share with us your favourite Rays of Sunshine memories on social media. You can tag us using @raysofsunshine on Twitter, @raysofsunshinecc on Instagram, and @Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity on Facebook and LinkedIn.

We're hoping to raise £1,500 to represent the incredible 15 years that we've had so far as a charity. Here's to 15 more! Thank you in advance for your kindness.
