When you Wish Upon a Star are a children’s charity that grant Wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses across the UK. They believe that every child deserves to smile, and with our support they can provide quality time away from hospitals and hospices for children and their families. This gives children and families something to look forward to through times of uncertainty, and often financial as well as emotional strain. Wishes allow the family to put their child’s illness on hold as they have fun and create precious memories together.
