Megans Wish was set up after a life changing experience, with regards to Scoliosis.
Due to the kind generosity of the public Megan received her spinal operation in Turkey, she is now bouncing back and we have set up Megans Wish to help other children in the same situation.

d) To work towards improving the quality of life for young people and their community

i) To promote health and well-being for everyone associated with the Charity
