Make-A-Wish Foundation UK

Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. Our wishes are truly magical. Whether a wish is to be a princess for the day, own the latest computer equipment, meet a favourite celebrity, or 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. More than 60,000 children in the UK have been diagnosed with a critical condition, changing their lives and the lives of their families forever. For them, the joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end, with treatment plans, hospital appointments and sleepless nights taking over. The power of a wish revives a childhood stolen by critical illness. It brings light and joy to children and their loved ones and leaves a profound and lasting impact on all their lives. But we can’t be that light for everyone. It takes a community of volunteers, local supporters, skills and donations to help these children feel like children again. So, we’re asking for your help.
