Story

Molly Ollys Wishes Charity supports children 0-18 years with life threatening illnesses.

Spurred on by my friend Emma who is raising funds for another charity close to our hearts (Young Lives versus cancer) which has supported Isaac too I have decided to join her in The Great North Swim in June 2023 swimming 1 mile on Lake Windermere.

I want to give something back to these amazing charities that support young children and their families in difficult times.

 Molly Olly`s granted my son Isaac who was diagnosed with Ewing`s sarcoma in January 2022 a wish of a Nintendo Switch which he has played endlessly during his long days of chemotherapy at The Christie Hospital in Manchester. The journey we have endured has been long and hard and  Isaac has more treatment to come. Many children and their families throughout the UK are going through the same battle as we are and have been supported by Molly Olly`s along the way granting various wishes to young children.



Wishes have an average value of £500 and can be for anything and everything from medical aids and equipment, toys, bedroom makeovers, outside play equipment, days out, shopping vouchers, electronic devices, arts and crafts, funds to help with transport costs etc. Each wish is individual to the child, and their aim is that the wishes help these children through extremely challenging circumstances and provide special memories for those around them.


Molly Olly`s supports children and their families with their emotional wellbeing and provide gifts to individuals and donate therapeutic toys and books to children directly and to hospitals throughout the UK.
