Wish Week 2026

Monday 13th April

Wish Week 2026 is taking place from Monday 13th April – Friday 17th of April!

Make-A-Wish Ireland is asking the public for their support to raise vital funds and awareness for the work that we do with critically ill children across the country during Wish Week.

As well as raising important funds to help Make-A-Wish grant magical wishes to children living with critical illnesses, Wish Week raises awareness and acknowledges the bravery of wish children and their families. You can help make wishes come true this wish week by signing up to volunteer or fundraise, or by making a wish week donation in aid of our wish children.

Join our biggest fundraising campaign of the year and host your own Wish Week fundraising event! Sign up below!

Make-A-Wish Ireland is a registered charity that grants wishes to children between the ages of 3 and 17 years living with critical medical conditions. Over the last 30 years, Make-A-Wish has granted over 3,350 wishes, including 226 wishes in 2025 alone. These children and their families need the hope, joy and lasting memories that a wish can bring. With over 200 children still on their wish journey and Make-A-Wish wants to make 2026 the most successful year yet.
