Working at Make-A-Wish Foundation UK

Make-A-Wish create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses between the ages of 3 and 17 years old. Last year, we granted magical wishes to more than 900 children and young people here in the UK. Every month, hundreds more children turn to us.

The children we support are often enduring things most of us could never imagine. They’re going through gruelling treatment, endless medical appointments and spending time in hospital away from their home, friends and family. A far cry from the childhood they should be enjoying. A wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and have the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold.

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

We want everyone that’s part of our Make-A-Wish team to feel inspired, capable and empowered to help grant magical wishes for children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
