A word from the My WiSH Charity
Sue Smith, head of fundraising for My WiSH, said: "We learnt so much at our first soapbox event. We've got an amazing team from local companies working with us this year to help us host a fantastic day for the local community.
"It's also a great way of people working together and team building to create and race their soapboxes.
"Last year was such a brilliant day and we can't wait to do it again, while raising money for our patients and their families at such a vulnerable time of their lives."
