Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK has a very simple objective - to grant magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. The charity was founded in the UK in 1986 and since then has granted over 8,100 wishes. There are over 20,000 children in the UK living with a life-threatening conditions. We believe that every one of them deserves to experience the magic of a Make-A-Wish wish - and they are truly magical. A small and dedicated team of professional wishgranters works alongside hundreds of volunteers to turn our children's wishes into reality. Whether a wish is to be a princess or a train driver for the day, own the latest TV or computer equipment, meet a favourite celebrity or just enjoy some special time away from home with their family, a wish come true brings so much to a child's life and provides memories that last a lifetime for the whole family. This year, around 1,000 children will turn to Make-A-Wish to have their special wish granted. ▼
