Starlight Wishes
One wish – endless possibilities…
At a time when it may feel like there is little to look forward to, Starlight is there to grant a seriously or terminally ill child their greatest wish, restoring the magic and fun of childhood and creating happy memories for the whole family to share and cherish, whatever the future holds.
Each wish is different because young minds are so imaginative and creative. Search the wishes and dreams, and you’ll see… whatever the wish, Starlight makes it happen!
Happily some 70% of Starlight children go on to get better and often doctors and parents say that the excitement and anticipation of the child’s wish was the turning point for their recovery.
You can put a child forward for a magical wish simply by completing our wish referral form.
Chelsea receives the royal treatment
A very girly girl, Chelsea's wish-of-a-lifetime was "to be a princess for the day and to wear a big crown"!
Ben's Disney dreams come true
Over the last year, Ben has been very poorly indeed and when Starlight first asked him what his wish-of-a-lifetime was he was too ill to decide. However, after some progress in his recovery, Ben was feeling much better and decided that his greatest wish would be to go to Disneyland.
Natalya's magical treehouse
Natalya's greatest was to have her very own treehouse built in her garden so that she can play there.
Sienna's day as a Princess
Four-year-old Sienna has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Her greatest wish was to be a princess and so Starlight organised a very special day for Sienna and sister Saffron.
Thomas meets hero, Fernando Torres
A huge football fan, Thomas's wish-of-a-lifetime was to watch his favourite team, Chelsea, play and to meet some on the players.
