We believe a better life is possible for millions of people affected by mental illness.
Over 40 years ago, one man bravely spoke about his family’s experiences of mental illness in the Times and in the process brought together hundreds to talk about their experiences of mental illness and support each other. Today we directly support almost 60,000 people every year across England to get through crises, to live independently and to realise they are not alone. And we change attitudes and policy for millions.
Make-A-Wish UK grants magical wishes to children and young people who have been diagnosed with a critical illness. Since being established in the UK in 1986, we have granted over nearly 15,000 amazing wishes Your donation doesn't just help provide a wish to a seriously ill child, it will give the whole family precious time together, creating memories to cherish for years to come. By making a donation today you will help grant a wish to one of the children who are currently waiting for their wish to come true. A regular donation of £5 a month will ensure that we can continue to grant the wishes of the hundreds of children who turn to us every year.
