When You Wish Upon a Star has a simple mission, to grant the Wishes of children living in the UK with life threatening illnesses between the ages of 4 to 16 years. The charity was founded in Nottingham by Barbara White OBE who was so inspired by a seriously ill four year old with a dream to meet Mickey Mouse that she wanted to bring smiles to the faces of many more brave and courageous children. Our Wishes have the power to transform the lives of the children and families we work with and since 1990, we have proudly granted over 18500 Wishes across the UK.

We believe every child deserves to smile and we can provide time away, giving children and their families something to look forward to through times of uncertainty and often financial as well as emotional strain.
