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.

How to Help

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.

Our Wishes

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

Volunteer

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

Together we can make a difference for children.​

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 3,250 brave children across Ireland, including 197 wishes granted in 2023 alone.
