Transform lives,
one wish at a time.

Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim – to 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. Take part in our events, host your own or become a volunteer.

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