Story

When You Wish Upon a Star are a children's Wish granting charity who provide Wishes for children living with life threatening illness. We know that when a child is diagnosed with a serious illness it can have a huge impact on everyone, not just the poorly child as regular hospital appointments and grueling treatments become part of everyday life. There are often financial implications as parents may have to give up work.

When life as they know it is turned upside-down we step in and offer the Wish. Each Wish is individual and we through consultation with the child and the hospital we explore the options and make the magic, something to spark joy and something to look forward to.

For 2023, The Acorn team have chosen When You Wish Upon A Star as our Charity of The Year. We chose this absolute wonderful charity, as not only does it align with our own values, but as a family centered organisation it really resonated with us all. Being able to bring a little magic and joy to the entire family is a real privilege.

About the charity

When You Wish Upon a Star are a charity whose aim is to grant the Wishes of children between the ages of 4 to 16 years old living with life threatening illnesses. Whatever the Wish, wherever possible, we will aim to make that Wish come true. Please help us grant these magical Wishes
