When You Wish Upon a Star

About When You Wish Upon a Star

When You Wish Upon a Star is a renowned charity organisation based in the UK, dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. Established in 1990, the charity has been a beacon of hope for many families, providing unforgettable experiences that bring joy and comfort during challenging times.

Our mission is to create magical moments for children and their families, allowing them to escape the harsh realities of illness, even if just for a little while. We believe that every child deserves to have their dreams come true, and we work tirelessly to make this a reality.

Through our various initiatives, we collaborate with hospitals, healthcare professionals, and volunteers to identify children who would benefit from a wish. Each wish is tailored to the individual child’s desires, whether it be meeting a favourite celebrity, going on a dream holiday, or experiencing a special event.

We are proud of our strong community support, which enables us to fund these wishes. Our fundraising events, corporate partnerships, and generous donations from individuals play a crucial role in sustaining our operations.

At When You Wish Upon a Star, we also focus on raising awareness about the challenges faced by seriously ill children and their families. We aim to inspire others to get involved, whether through volunteering, fundraising, or simply spreading the word about our cause.

As we look to the future, our vision remains clear: to reach more children in need and to continue making wishes come true. We invite everyone to join us in this noble endeavour, as together, we can create a world where every child’s wish is fulfilled.
