When You Wish Upon a Star are a childrens Wish granting charity who provide Wishes for children living with life threatening illness.

We work extremely closely with our Wish families. 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 some children want a princess party, some a family holiday to Disney land others want to be a policeman or fireman for day. A Wish is an opportunity to make magical memories, to step away from the treatment for a moment have something special to look forward too. We believe every child deserves to smile and with your help we can make this magic happen.
