Sponsor A Wish — Give a child hope every month
Critically ill children are waiting and your monthly gift can help us say “yes” sooner.
Every hour, a child in the UK is diagnosed with a life‑changing condition that could qualify them for a wish. In that moment, everything changes, hospital visits, uncertainty, and fear can take over their childhood.
These children are holding on for something brighter, a moment of joy, a chance to escape, a chance to simply feel like a child again.
But right now, more children are waiting than ever before and they need your help.
What you are making possible
I wish to be a firefighter
£12 could help grant a wish for a child like Monty, who was diagnosed with leukaemia, to become their favourite on-screen hero for the day.
I wish to have a Paw Patrol party
£9 could help grant a wish for a child like Dylan, who is living with heart condition, have the birthday party of the year.
Why Sponsor A Wish matters?
When you give monthly, you help us act without delay.
You help us start planning a child’s wish as soon as they’re referred — turning waiting into excitement, and fear into joy.
You can help us to say “yes” to more children, creating magical, personalised experiences that bring light when it’s needed most.
Because every child deserves a moment where they can laugh, dream, and just be a child again.
What you'll receive
- A personalised welcome pack
- Wish Voices, our bi-annual physical newsletter
- Regular updates on how your sponsorship is helping us to grant even more wishes and reach every child waiting for their wish to come true
Your monthly support helps bring hope, happiness and strength to children facing the toughest challenges. Together, we can make sure no child waits too long for their wish.
