When You Wish Upon a Star has a simple mission, to grant the Wishes of children living with a life threatening illness. Some children Wish to be a fairy princess or soldier for the day, meet celebrities or sporting heroes that range from the Red Arrows to Mary Berry and others Wish for a laptop to keep in contact with their friends and family whilst in hospital. One of our most popular Wishes remains the exciting opportunity to swim with dolphins and meet all their favourite characters in Disney World, Florida. Every December the charity also enables hundreds of children to swap hospital beds for sleigh rides transporting them away from appointments, treatments, and injections to the winter wonderland of Lapland in Finland on board our Santa Express flights. We believe every child deserves to smile and with your support we can provide time away, giving children and their families something to look forward to through times of uncertainty and often financial as well as emotional strain. Wishes and Treats allow the family to put their childs illness on hold as they have fun and create precious memories.
