Zak’s Wish is a local, family-led charity created in memory of Zak Fairhurst to honour his memory, resilience, and love of life, despite all his challenges. We were set up to support children and young people up to age 25 with additional needs, disabilities or life-limiting conditions, as well as the families who care for them. Our mission is simple: to make life a little easier and a little brighter during challenging times. We do this by granting small wishes, such as sensory toys, sensory items or special experiences; providing essential equipment that improves comfort, independence or daily living; and offering discretionary grants to parents and carers facing the financial strain of long-term hospital stays, travel costs or food vouchers while staying in hospital. Zak’s Wish works closely with local families, schools, and community groups across Corby and surrounding areas, ensuring support is fast, accessible and genuinely meaningful. Every wish we grant is a tribute to Zak’s legacy—spreading kindness, easing pressure and bringing joy to young people who need it most.
