Medical expertise
Willow has a team of Medical Advisors who work with your health professional to ensure that everything we plan together is completely safe.
One of our Medical Advisors, Beverly Barclay MBE, has over 30 years experience in palliative care for young people. She tells us:
“Willow’s work makes a huge difference to people. It gives them something to focus on and definitely something to look forward to. When applicants are going through treatment it gives them a reason to keep going and gives them hope, which is extremely important. People want to make memories with families and friends and Willow helps them to do this. It really is an amazing charity.”
Personal Service
Every Special Day and treat box is arranged by one of our Willow Coordinators. They are here to ensure that you get the experience that’s perfect for you. They’ll talk to you about your interests and wishes, and help put together something really special.
