Wish 200 Week 2025

Wish 200 Week

Join us from 14 to 20 July for Wish 200 Week as we celebrate five years of bringing together creators and the games industry to grant wishes for critically ill children across the UK!

For many of the children we serve, gaming is a lifeline. It provides them with a social outlet when they're undergoing long treatment cycles and are unable to attend school or clubs with their friends; it gives respite and distraction from the challenges they face every day with their critical illness, and it offers a welcoming and inclusive community where they can be who they want to be again.​

This is where Wish 200 Week comes in, we are bringing together creators and the games industry for one week to raise enough money to grant 200 life changing wishes for critically ill children across the UK.

Game sale!

The Wish 200 Week Charity Sale showcases the magic and joy of gaming, in tribute to Make-A-Wish UK’s mission to rescue the magic of childhood. From the 17-20 July, you can purchase discounted games Thank Goodness You're Here! from Panic, Heaven's Vault from inkle, Vampire Survivors from poncle, Let’s Build a Zoo from No More Robots, Bassmaster® Fishing from Dovetail Games and many more.

Why gaming?

When the world feels dark and difficult, online gaming can provide relief and respite in a world where anything is possible.

Digital gaming allows children to escape the everyday realities of their condition, bringing entertainment, connection and achievement into their lives. A growing number of our wishes are gaming focused, and we know these gaming related wishes have a hugely positive impact on improving a young person’s mental health at a time when they need it the most.
