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

Over the past 35 years, we have brought joy, hope, and treasured memories to thousands of children and their families across the UK.

A child's Wish can range from meeting a favourite celebrity, experiencing a magical holiday, specialised equipment to having a dream day filled with love and laughter.

Each Wish is carefully tailored to the child’s hopes and needs, creating moments that allow them to be more than their illness, to be simply a child again.

A Wish creates life-long precious memories for our families when they might not have thought it could be possible to achieve through illness or disability.
