Gaming to grant wishes
Gaming brings joy, connection, and comfort to critically ill children.
For many wish families, gaming provides:
- Connection – a way to interact with friends and family when illness makes socialising difficult.
- An Escape – a chance to step away from medical treatments and give themselves a much-needed distraction.
- Inclusion – a virtual world where critically ill children can be themselves again.
Make-A-Wish UK unites gamers, creators, developers, and studios to fund life-changing wishes for children and their families.
Get involved
Work in partnership with Make-A-Wish UK:
- Collaborate on campaigns and engage your employees.
- Donate products or merchandise to support wish fulfilment.
