Make-A-Wish Foundation ® UK has a very simple objective – to grant the wishes of children and young people aged 3 to 17 living with life-threatening illnesses. The charity was founded in the UK in 1986 and since then we have granted nearly 4200 wishes.
Our wishes are truly magical. A small and dedicated team of professional wishgranters work alongside hundreds of volunteers to turn our children’s wishes into reality. With over 20,000 children in the UK living with life-threatening conditions at any one time, our work is never ending.
Every one of these children’s wishes is different; whether it’s to be a princess or a policeman for a day, 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. If we had a simple wish, it would be that we could reach more of these children and that is why we need your help.
We receive no government funding or lottery grants, relying on the generous donations of the general public and that’s why, for our charity, every penny counts.
