Make a donation

Your donation doesn’t just help provide a wish to a seriously ill child. It will give the whole family precious time together, creating memories to cherish for years to come. By making a one-off donation today you will help grant a wish to one of the children currently on our waiting list. But a regular donation of £5 a month will ensure that we can continue to grant the wishes of the hundreds of children who turn to us every year.

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we were able to grant the wish of eight year old Molly, who lives with Stage IV Wilms’ Tumour (a type of kidney cancer), and wished to appear as an extra on her favourite show, CBBC’s Tracy Beaker Returns.

This year over 1,000 families will turn to us and we desperately want to be able to grant the wishes of all those children.

Your donation will help us make those dreams a reality and give families precious moments together.

The money you are about to donate will grant wishes for some very special children in the United Kingdom.

It will take just a few minutes and is completely secure.
