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.

Wish Week is our national fundraising week, raising awareness and acknowledging the bravery of wish children and their families.

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

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

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.
