Make-A-Wish® UK

About Make-A-Wish UK

Make-A-Wish UK is a leading charity dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Founded in 1986, the organization has been at the forefront of creating unforgettable experiences that bring joy and hope to young individuals facing challenging health conditions.

Our mission is to enrich the lives of children by fulfilling their most heartfelt wishes, whether it’s meeting their favourite celebrity, going on an adventure, or experiencing something extraordinary. Each wish is tailored to the individual child, ensuring that it resonates deeply with their dreams and aspirations.

We believe that a wish can be a powerful tool in a child’s healing process, providing them with strength, joy, and a sense of normalcy during difficult times. Our dedicated team works closely with families, healthcare professionals, and volunteers to make these wishes come true.

Make-A-Wish UK operates across the entire United Kingdom, with a network of regional branches that allow us to reach children in every corner of the country. We rely on the generosity of donors and supporters to fund our wishes, and we are committed to transparency and accountability in all our operations.

In addition to granting wishes, we also engage in advocacy and awareness campaigns to highlight the importance of childhood wishes and the impact they have on children’s lives. Our vision is to ensure that every child with a critical illness has the opportunity to experience the magic of a wish.

Join us in making a difference in the lives of these brave children. Together, we can create moments of joy and hope that will last a lifetime.
