How your fundraising can help

We are reliant upon generous donations to fund our magical wishes. Here are just a few examples of the impact your fundraising could have for seriously ill children: 

  • £200 – could fund a special afternoon tea for a family to enjoy on a trip to London.  
  • £300 – could pay for a family of four to visit the Harry Potter Studios tour.  
  • £400 –  could fund for a limousine to be at a wish families disposal for the day taking the strain out of their journey and allowing them to feel like VIPs.   
  • £1,000 – could fund for every child attending our Christmas Party to get a new toy. 
  • £1,500 – could fund a wish for a seriously ill child to go to their favourite UK theme park including transportation and overnight accommodation.

The difference your fundraising makes

Fundraising in your school could help us grant more magical wishes for children like Isla.

She had her wish granted for an afternoon tea with her favourite author Jacqueline Wilson following treatment for a brain tumour.
