Make-A-Wish-harry-with-miniAt Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK we grant magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.

Our wishes are truly magical. Whether a wish is to be a princess or a policeman for a day, own the latest computer equipment, meet a favourite celebrity or just enjoy some special time away from home with their family, a wish come true brings so much to a child’s life and provides memories that last a lifetime.  “The wish you have given my boy is far better than the medicine he has to take every night. It has made him so happy – thank you so so much.”  Mother of Haydn, aged 14 and living with Spinal Stenosis

With 20,000 children in the UK living with life-threatening conditions at any one time, our work is never done. Our aim is to ensure that every child experiences the joy and magic of a Make-A-Wish wish. This year, around 1,000 children will turn to us to have their special wish granted. 

“Seeing our little girl doing something that will give us wonderful memories, carrying us through the low moments of caring for a child with cancer, has been too special for words. I call it a ‘jam jar’ moment, one to be bottled, put on the memory shelf and opened when flagging spirits need to be revived. Thank you, thank you for making all this happen.”  Mother of Verity, aged 7, who is living with Abdominal Rhabdomyosarcoma

If you would like to sponsor a Make-A-Wish wish and help a really deserving child, we ask that a minimum of £4,000 is donated in one year.

In return

As soon as the full amount is received we will tell you about the individual child concerned, why they chose that particular wish and how Make-A-Wish was able to turn the wish into a magical experience for the child’s whole family. That way, you will hear all about the wish that you have helped to grant, in the knowledge that your money is being used where it is most urgently needed.
