Welcome to Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK
Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.
At any given time, over 20,000 children in the UK are living with life-threatening conditions. In 2010, around 1,000 children will turn to us to have their special wish granted.
"No words can explain what this will mean.
A huge thank you to the Make-A-Wish team
– everything was so easy and It's a treat to spend quality time together."
