Make-A-Wish Foundation UK has a very simple objective – to grant wishes of children aged 3 to 8 living with life-threatening illnesses. The charity was founded in the UK in 1986 and since then we have granted over 3,500 wishes.

Our wishes are truly magical. A small and dedicated team of professional wish granters work alongside hundreds of volunteers to turn our children’s wishes into reality. Whether a wish is 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.

At any one time there are as many as 20,000 children facing this challenge every year.
At Make-A-Wish Foundation UK we grant around 500 wishes per year but would love to do more.
