Sarah is an independent Trustee for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Heath ( RCPCH ) making a financial commitment to the cash cost of funding that wish . So , if we don ' t have a strategy that allows us to access partner funding or gifts-in-kind , we ' re always limited by the amount of reserves that we hold ,” she adds .
Gifts-in-kind are a kind of charitable giving in which , instead of giving money to buy needed goods and services , the goods and services themselves are given . For Make-A-Wish UK , this could be anything from virtual reality equipment and costumes to specialist cars and gaming consoles .
