About the charity

Whose primary aim is to grant the Wishes of children suffering from life threatening illnesses and since they started in 1990, they have granted over 14,500 Wishes for some very brave and courageous children and their families.

All children have Wishes, but for these children and their families that Wish is much more precious.

Wishes are varied and far reaching. For some a trip to Disney Florida or Paris to meet their favourite characters, for others it is a chance to get up close to a favourite pop star or sporting hero and some children simply want books and toys. Whatever the Wish, wherever possible, When You Wish Upon A Star will aim to make that Wish a reality.

When You Wish Upon A Star rely solely on fundraising events and the generosity of the public to enable them to grant the Wishes of these special and courageous children. Your help is vital and with your support, they can provide a marvellous experience, during a very difficult time.

Their aim is to simply make magical memories for a Wish child and their family to remember for a lifetime. By granting a Wish, this enables the family to have a truly amazing time forgetting about hospital routines, doctor's appointments and the gruelling treatments that have become a daily occurrence and allowing the whole family to smile, laugh and enjoy life!
