Story

#Covid19WishAppeal

We need your support more than ever to continue to grant magical Wishes

We are in the midst of the most serious epidemic in 100 years as Covid-19 affects everyones lives. For all of us here at When You Wish Upon a Star we are having to make incredibly hard but necessary decisions across the charity, and it's at this unprecedented time that we need your support more than ever to protect the charity now and that of our future Wish granting work.

2020 was our year to celebrate!

We had reached a huge milestone in the charities history, our 30th birthday; Celebrating 30 years of granting magical Wishes across the UK.

We have been busy planning a series of celebration events and fundraising campaigns in addition to our Wish granting work which have all sadly (but necessarily) been postponed or cancelled. This is resulting in around £500,000 of our fundraising income now being at risk! This means our ability to grant a child's Wish is now under immediate threat.

To continue our mission of granting Wishes for children with life threatening illnesses our good work relies on your incredible support and generosity. Please donate if you are able and help us continue to grant magical Wishes and bring smiles back to our Wish childrens faces.
