Make-A-Wish UK is part of a global movement creating life-changing wishes. Our only goal is to turn tears into cheers by giving children facing critical illness the chance to dream big even when they might not have long to live. No matter what the future holds, we create lasting memories families will treasure forever. We work with wish children, their families, and medical teams to make unforgettable wishes a reality – like a child getting to be a princess in their own castle, cooking with their favourite celebrity chef, and even becoming a Ghostbuster to save the city of Leeds!
““In the UK, one child every hour is diagnosed with a critical illness that makes them eligible for a wish. They have already endured so much – from endless hospital visits, gruelling treatments and uncertainty from week to week. We are working tirelessly granting their wishes, but demand is continuing to outpace our best efforts to keep up. This means it’s taking longer than ever to grant once-in-a-lifetime wishes. But the heartbreaking reality is that many families simply can’t wait this long.
We need your support now more than ever to grant more wishes sooner, before it’s too late.”
