About Round Table Children's Wish Limited

RTCW is a charity that grants wishes to children throughout Great Britain and Ireland who are aged up to 17 and have life threatening illnesses. 

The charity’s aim is to fulfil a child’s secret dream whether it is to meet their own heroes and idols from the worlds of sport, television and popular music, or perhaps to give them the opportunity to swim with dolphins, make a parachute jump, or even have a ride in a sports car. 

For others, a quiet holiday with family members or the gift of a computer or playhouse may be their ideal wish.

Founded in 1990, the charity has delivered more than 500 wishes to date, granting 100 of these in the past year. 

The long standing links with Round Table and Ladies Circle and the tremendous support received from our growing number of supporters nationwide enables the charity to continually expand and increase the number of wishes granted for so many children.

RTCW has established excellent working relationships with specialist paediatric units across the country, from which many of the wish referrals are received.

Fundraising is always needed for us to be able to deliver wishes. At present, the London Marathon generates a large proportion of our funds and we need to increase this even further. 

Runners choosing RTCW know that the money they raise will provide that special time for these children and their families.
