Frequently Asked Questions

How do you help children in hospital?

A Child’s Wish is run by volunteers who give their time to contact hospitals throughout the UK to ask what it is that they need in order to make a difference for the children they look after. Some hospitals are running campaigns to purchase expensive equipment, or maybe they need donations to create facilities to accommodate families so that they can be near their children whilst in hospital. The list is endless but every penny we donate will make a massive difference.
Can I do a sponsored event to raise funds?

Of course! Despite the pandemic we are all facing, there are many amazing ways that people can raise funds for us in the safety of their own home or garden. See our page for tips or give us a call!
I know of a child that is in a hospital that needs funding, can I let you know?"

You certainly can. Although we contact hospitals ourselves, we encourage our supporters to let us know if they are aware of a particular child or hospital that we may be able to help.
Do you receive funding from the government?

We do not. All of the funds we raise are provided by our supporters, and 100% of the donations we make will benefit children’s hospitals directly.
Can I buy your charity magazines?

We distribute our magazines free of charge to ensure maximum coverage throughout the UK. If you know of someone that would like a copy then please let us know, and if you wish to make a donation for it then we would welcome the contribution.
