We’re quite lucky here in the Wishgranting Department - we can honestly say that no two days (or hours for that matter!) are the same. Take last week for example: we had an offer of tickets to ride the Polar Express, a meeting with a very important corporate supporter (help with football wishes; yes, please!), multiple deliveries (elf letters, cupcakes, presents from Peru and a bespoke painting for a wish child), a visit from a gorgeous and cheeky little chappy called Oscar whose wish we granted this year - and the week ended with a manic chase to locate a missing wish pack. Wish packs contain everything a family needs for their wish so, as you can imagine, when one goes astray in the post we have to act fast.
Skip to today and the pack is still MIA, but never fear - a wishgranter is resourceful: replacements have been sent, the family have been called and the wish will go ahead without a hitch… phew!
Here are a few photos from last week...

We received a lovely surprise this morning from a family who recently got back from Disney Florida, an envelope containing not only some photos and feedback on their stay - “I loved it!!!” - but also some beautiful bracelets handmade by the young lad and his Mum; what a lovely thought.

Sorry about the lack of posts, we’ve had a few hectic weeks here in Wishgranting. The lead up to November means the same every year for us, WWE wishes! They are ever popular, and we are so lucky to have the support of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) stars in meeting many of our wish children at the UK tours which take place every April and November.

People often think that we grant wishes solely for children with a ‘terminal’ prognosis. We don’t, and it’s not a word we like or use. The children we grant wishes for have a life-threatening condition; many do recover and have happy ending – I can’t tell you how much we love to hear those. Of course, this leaves those heart-breaking moments when you find out a child has lost their battle. It’s hard, unimaginable almost, to think of what the families are facing.

"Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. Put 'em together and what have you got, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
