Make-A-Wish® UK creates life-changing wishes that restore the childhood that critical illness often takes away, bringing light and joy at the darkest of times. But we can’t be that light for everyone. Your generous support helps us step closer to achieving our aim: to grant a wish to every eligible child. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.

Right now, 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, 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, fundraisers, donors, and partnerships to help these children feel like children again.

Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.
