Referring a Child for a Wish
Who is eligible for a wish?
Any child or young person aged 3 to 17, who is living with a life-threatening illness and who has not had a wish granted by a similar organisation.
Who can refer a child?
- Family: parents, guardians, grandparents, siblings
- Medical professionals: consultants, nurses, social workers
- Friends of the family, school teacher
- Even a wish child themselves
What Happens Next?
Once a child is referred to us for a wish we contact their family to sign a medical information release form. Once we have received this form we then contact the child's named consultant to establish eligibility for a wish to be granted. In due course, once eligibility has been established, trained volunteers will visit the child to ascertain the child's wish. Then the magic begins!
