This is Chrissy's second post in the charitable sector, having recently completed a five year stint at Perennial (previously Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society) as Marketing & Fundraising Manager. Prior to this she worked in the commercial sector in a number of IT and Marketing managerial roles. Chrissy's role within Make-A-Wish is to develop and support the staff and volunteers in the seven regional offices located around the UK.

"I am thrilled to be here and to be part of this enthusiastic and passionate organisation. At a time when many charities are struggling to grow their volunteer teams, Make-A-Wish continues to receive unprompted offers of help from the general public. Volunteers are at the very heart of our organisation and I hope to be able to persuade many more people that, by volunteering their time and energy, they too can share in the happiness and magic of granting wishes to some very special children."
