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

Wish Week

Our annual fundraising week is happening Monday March 31st to Sunday March 6th and we're looking for you to help us grant more magical wishes.

Our Wishes

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

Apply for a Wish

We welcome queries from medical professionals or children themselves but the application must be completed by the Parent/legal guardian of the child.

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 3,350 brave children across Ireland, including 214 wishes granted in 2024 alone.
