    Situation

    There are currently over 49,000 children and young people in the UK living with a serious illness. These children are often facing painful treatments, gruelling side-effects and missing out on the childhood so many of us take for granted. When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness it has a huge impact on the entire family. Caring for a seriously ill child can mean parents giving up work to be by their bedside, brothers and sisters feeling overlooked, and precious family time is lost.

    Solution

    Granting wishes - these can be as unique as the children themselves and give them with the chance to be children again. From being a princess to enjoying a magical family holiday at Lapland. Wishes involve the entire family and create precious memories. Bringing Sunshine to Hospitals – Our activity days are designed to reduce the sense of isolation by bringing entertainment and distraction to children receiving treatment. These events range from bedside performers to delivering Christmas gifts.
