A Crowborough based charity which supports children with life limiting illness and their families has thanked and congratulated its celebrity patron, John Bishop.
The comedian, who has been involved with Taylor-Made Dreams for many years, is celebrating 25 years of stand-up.
The charity, which was founded in Crowborough in 2014, and supports eligible children aged 3 to 18 in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex, said: “We would like to say a massive congratulations to our Patron John Bishop, who is celebrating 25 years of stand-up this year!
“John helped to bring laughter into Taylor and Suzi’s lives at a time when it seemed almost impossible to smile. He has continued to help bring that same positivity into the world through his charitable support. A wonderful comedian, doing so much to support others. From everyone at Taylor-Made Dreams, thank you for an incredible 25 years of comedy.”
Since becoming TMD’s Patron, John has helped to make dreams come true for numerous young people. He has also supported events, and earlier this year he hosted his first John Bishop & Friends comedy show in support of Taylor-Made Dreams. That event at the Assembly Hall in Tunbridge Wells raised more than £33,000 for the charity.
Taylor-Made Dreams was set up in 2014, in memory of and inspired by Taylor Mitchell, who sadly lost his four-year battle against his terminal condition in September 2011, aged just 15. After completing Taylor’s own list of wishes, his mum, Suzi, recognised the gap in charitable services to realise the unique wish lists of children with life-limiting illnesses, alongside therapeutic and counselling support for the whole family.
