Wishing Tree

Every dream is a possibility

When you donate to the Wishing Tree, you help make dreams come true for people living with disability.

From the minor, like making the everyday just that little bit easier; to the life-changing, like giving someone the ability to communicate. It’s all possible.

The Wishing Tree is funded entirely by donations and wishes are only granted if there is no other funding source available and they fulfil at least one of the following criteria:

  • Increases independence
  • Supports a better living environment
  • Fulfils a long term goal or ambition
  • Provides a special, one off treat
  • All Wishing Tree wishes granted are for requests between $100 and $3,000. Staff and customers can nominate for a ‘Wish’ and a specially selected committee choose how the funds are shared.
