The Charity

Our gallery page shows a few of the 'Wishes' we have fulfilled for our very special children, and brought a smile to what can sometimes be a very traumatic time, not only for the child concerned but also for the families.

If you could see these children, you would be touched by their courage and some with the prospect of many months, sometimes years, of very painful treatment. We aim to bring a sparkle into their lives no matter how big or small.

If you have happy healthy children you know what joy it brings to see them smile. This is something we should never take for granted, When You Wish Upon A Star deals with those other areas where a sick child's Wish actually becomes a reality in what may sadly be a short life.

A smile happens in a flash but its memory lasts a lifetime...

To be able to fulfil a Wish is an incredible achievement, this can bring a huge smile to a child's face! Also to the parents who have taken time out from the visits to doctors and hospitals to actually have time to enjoy life with their son or daughter doing what they have always dreamed of, sadly too many families go through this heartache with children who are not as lucky as some.

To make that vision a reality we rely overwhelmingly on the generosity and hard work of our supporters. Quite simply, the more money we receive, the more Wishes we can have the pleasure of granting.

The saddest part of the year, is when one of the children dies. If you could have been there to see their joy and happiness during the special moment we were able to arrange for them, then you will understand why our work must continue.
