Change Lives
this Christmas

This Christmas, you can help us grant the wishes of children with critical medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.

There are lots of fantastic ways you can support Make-A-Wish Ireland over Christmas, with donations, gifts or hosting your own Christmas Jumper Day.

A wish granted is true magic for a critically ill child, providing respite from their normal routines of doctors and hospitals.

There are few experiences more powerful than making a wish come true. Volunteers are an essential part of our wish granting process.

Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim: to grant the wishes of children with critical medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.

Since 1992, Make-A-Wish Ireland has granted wishes for more than 3,500 brave children across Ireland, including 214 wishes granted in 2024 alone.
