About the Wish Tower Friends
The Wish Tower Friends are a group of volunteers, from Eastbourne and beyond, who want to encourage more people to visit and appreciate the Wish Tower.
Since first taking over the lease, we have successfully cleared the tower of assorted junk and subsequently conducted tours for over 10,000 people. We are working to secure funding to help preserve the building for future generations to enjoy.
Could you help?
We’re always on the lookout for volunteers to help with all aspects of our work! Please get in touch.
