What is The Children’s Panel?
The Children’s Panel is a group of wish children which helps Rays of Sunshine to put children’s voices at the heart of everything we do.
Members will help Rays of Sunshine to sprinkle even more magic on our wishes and services by sharing your unique experiences and opinions.
They will be invited to our welcome day to meet other members, attend bi-monthly meetings and other sessions when needed and join our end-of-year celebration event.
