When You Wish Upon a Star has one simple mission: to grant the Wishes of children aged 4–16 living with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.

Since 1990, we have brought joy, hope and unforgettable memories to thousands of children and their families across the UK.

A Wish can be anything a child dreams of, from meeting their favourite celebrity or experiencing a magical holiday, to receiving specialist equipment or enjoying a dream day surrounded by the people they love.

Every Wish is unique and carefully tailored to the child, giving them the chance to look beyond their illness and simply be a child again.

For families facing unimaginable circumstances, a Wish can create precious, lifelong memories and make something they may never have believed possible become a reality.

Because a Wish is more than a moment. It’s a memory that lasts a lifetime.
