Choosing your special day
The Willow Foundation will consider all reasonable special day requests. Before submitting your application, please consider carefully what experience would be most meaningful for you and would have the greatest impact on your life at this time. Our step by step guide aims to assist you in your special day choice.
1. Decide who you would like to include on your day. Are you hoping to spend time with your partner, members of your family and/or close friends?
2. Consider what experience you would all enjoy most on your special day. Do you plan to relax, unwind and recharge your batteries; enjoy a fun-packed day centred around a family orientated or sporting activity; re-engage with close friends or have a once in a lifetime experience?
Past beneficiaries have chosen intimate dinners, spa breaks and overnight stays away; visits to family themed parks/attractions; trips to sporting (football, rugby, cricket, etc), events, concerts or music festivals, flights in hot air balloons, theatre trips and activity days.

If you are undecided let us know your thoughts on Steps 1 and 2 and one of our special day coordinators will come back to you with suggestions. Click here for a copy of the official application form
Please be aware that every special day must be conducted in the UK and is subject to budgetary control.
