Make-A-Wish® UK

• Every day, the lives of 10 families in the UK are changed forever when a child is diagnosed with a life-limiting condition.
• From the moment that news sinks in, the innocence of childhood and the simple pleasures of family life are replaced by worry, treatment, routine appointments, financial issues, and isolation.
• Those children need hope - something positive to look forward to. A wish provides that hope. By signing up to Savoo and selecting Make-A-Wish UK as your charity, they will receive free donations every time you shop online.

Learn more about Make-A-Wish UK

The establishment of Make-A-Wish UK can be attributed to a group of volunteers residing in Camberley, Surrey, in 1986. This charitable organisation embarked on its mission by fulfilling the wish of a young boy named Anthony from Liverpool, which revolved around a specific theme park. Over the years, Make-A-Wish UK has successfully granted over 14,000 wishes that have had a profound impact on the lives of the recipients. Notably, on their 25th anniversary, they achieved a remarkable feat by securing a place in the Guinness Book of Records for orchestrating the largest pass-the-parcel ever recorded.

How they support: Granting thousands of wishes

Granting wishes to children is a hard task, but it’s one that Make-A-Wish UK is happy to do. Every year, they grant 1,000 wishes, and they are on track to boost this figure to 1,200 wishes a year. Through every £1 the charity spends on fundraising, they generate £2.22 of income, which goes right back into wish granting.

Ways you can help: Play the Wish & Win Lottery

You could win a £20,000 prize in the Make-A-Wish Lottery, called Wish & Win. All you need to do is pay £1 to play, and your entry will not only give you the chance to win a huge prize, but your payment will also go towards helping grant wishes to critically ill children. Play weekly or only once, whatever makes you feel comfortable. The three prizes on offer are:

• First prize: £20,000
• Second prize: £1,000
• Third prize to be split between three winners: £10 M&S vouchers
  
  

Other ways you can help: Donate monthly

If you’re able to commit to a regular monthly donation, you’d be doing a whole lot of good to sick children across the United Kingdom. Your donation will help the charity to grant life-changing wishes to children with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. For example:

• £7: This covers the cost of a bucket and spade for a child to play with at the beach
• £15: This could cover the cost of furniture in a bedroom makeover for a child
• £30: This could dress a child in their own costume for their wish
