Change Lives
this Christmas

This Christmas, you can help us to grant life-changing wishes, transforming
the lives of critically ill children, their families and their community.

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.
