Community Referral Partners

Our new approach for Community Referral Partners

At Make-A-Wish UK we want to ensure that our wish children get the best wish experience possible, and we're always looking at ways we can improve and enhance our ability to grant more wishes whilst also giving them the best experience we can offer.

To support our vision of reaching every eligible child, we've transitioned to a new pathway for accepting wishes, and are now working with Community Referral Partners. We continue to accept referrals for children with a prognosis of 12 months and under, which can be made by a member of the child’s health, social care, or education team. To submit a referral please select ‘Refer a Child’ below.

Why Community Referral Partners?

We're building communities around our wish children by forming strong relationships with hospitals, hospices, and charitable organisations. Our Community Referral Partners will be equipped with the tools and support needed to refer, capture, and assist in the generation of funding, and the delivery of wishes including volunteering opportunities. By working closely with Community Referral Partners, we aim to better serve the needs of eligible children.

Exclusive Wish Opportunities

Our Community Referral Partners will have access to some amazing exclusive wish experiences, including A Disney Wish UK. These are group wishes and take place here in the UK.

Who can become a Community Referral Partner?

We're keen to speak with organisations including hospitals, hospices and charitable organisation who are interested in future opportunities to become Community Referral Partners. We want to partner with organisations who can support us in our collaborative working approach to reach more eligible children, whilst building our community of volunteers, exploring funding and engagement opportunities.
