Become a Patron and help create life-changing moments for seriously ill children when they need them most.
With an annual gift of £2,500 or more, for a minimum of two years, your Patronage will bring smiles, hope and resilience to children facing life-limiting conditions.
Every hour, a family in the UK receives the devastating news that their child is seriously ill.
Today, more than 134,000 children are living with life-limiting conditions - yet we can only reach 1 in 8 of the children who could benefit from a wish.
For these children and their families, time is precious. A wish offers more than a moment of happiness - it creates space for laughter, escape, and togetherness during the most difficult of times. For some, it becomes a final, lasting memory.
By becoming a Patron, you can help us reach more children and families who need us.
Your commitment over a minimum of two years allows us to plan with confidence - ensuring we can continue delivering life-changing wishes not just today, but into the future
We offer six levels of Patronage with flexible payment options to suit you. Support can be given personally, via your Donor Advised Fund, Charitable Trust or Foundation or through your company.
