Tonight we're helping make wishes come true! We're listening to the inspirational Kees Veldboer, Director and Founder of the Ambulance Wish Foundation, which helps terminally ill people fulfil their final wish.

We have just secured a deal with a local supermarket who are giving us their surplus food. Food will go to our Asylum Seeker Drop-in Centres and cooking groups. We are in need of a fridge to store our food in - if you have/ or know of someone who wants to donate one, let us know!

Thanks so much to our amazing United Synagogue ambulance wish foundation volunteers, Peter Phillips, David Kurash and Saul Gaunt who made this happen.

The moment Derek & Eirwen were re united this morning at the Ty Pentwyn Nursing Home by @UnitedSynagogue volunteers for @AmbulanceWishUK who drove 180 miles to make the 5 min journey happen. The biggest privilege to be able to share this most intimate moment. #thankyou 💕
