Wishes 4 Kids were delighted to be able to grant the wish of this incredible little boy who wanted to experience driving a car by himself. We took him and his family to Everyman Racing in Loughborough where he received VIP treatment from all of their amazing staff who presented him with a special goody bag and signed hoodie. He drove 4 different sports which included a Ferrari 458, McLaren 570s and a Lamborghini Huracan Thrill where he reached 102 mph!!! Whilst driving around the race track he noticed a fire engine. He was allowed to drive the fire engine by himself, with all of his family as passengers. The little boy had the most amazing time and loved every minute of his wish. We would like to thank our fantastic Trustee, Paula, for all of her help and support with this wish and to every single person at Everyman Racing for their kindness and hospitality and for going above and beyond to give this little boy the best day ever. You were all amazing and the smile on the little boy's face shows how much it meant to him❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

We had the great pleasure of recently granting this amazing little girl's wish by sending her and her lovely family to Disneyland Paris. This was a complete surprise for her as her parents only told her about it on the morning that we picked them up. After being looked after at both airports, by the incredible chaplaincy teams, the family were driven to the Newport Bay Hotel where their voluntEARS were waiting for them. She received a welcome pack which included a very special lanyard which meant that she was treated like a VIP the entire time she was there. The family were taken to the front of every single queue which included any rides, attractions and to meet the Disney characters. The little girl's favourite Disney character was Stitch and we arranged for her to have a very special one-on-one meeting with Stitch in the Walt Disney Studios which she loved. All of their meals were paid for and on their second day they enjoyed a character breakfast with Tigger, Eeyore, Pinocchio and many others. After 3 magical days we collected the family from Luton airport and the little girl was able to tell us all about her amazing experience. It was lovely to hear how much it meant to them all and the memories that they made together. We would not be able to grant wishes like this without your support so to everyone who chooses to support our Charity we would like to say THANK YOU❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

This week we had the pleasure of granting a very special wish for an incredible young lady who wanted to watch The Lion King with her family. We collected her and her parents and travelled down to London via First Class train. On arrival we checked into the Strand Palace Hotel before enjoying a wonderful meal at the Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly Circus. We then headed to the Lyceum Theatre where the family received VIP treatment in the Ambassador Lounge before settling down to watch a spectacular performance of The Lion King. After the show the young lady thought we would be heading straight back to the hotel but we had one more surprise for her!! We had arranged for a meet and greet with some of the cast and waiting for her in the Ambassador Lounge were the characters Simba, Nala and Rafiki.This was a truly magical moment and one that the young lady and her family will 'treasure forever'. The cast were amazing with her and even presented her with a very special goodie bag which included a signed poster and t-shirt. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at The Lion King for their hospitality and incredible kindness that was shown to us all. A special mention must go to Tasha Jarvis who was so supportive throughout, helping us with tickets and arranging the meet and greet. Thank you for helping to make a young lady so very happy.❤️ ...

Last weekend we granted a very special little girl's wish by sending her and her family to Disneyland Paris. The family stayed in the Newport Bay Hotel where they were greeted by volunteers who looked after them the entire time they were there. The little girl was treated like a VIP throughout her stay and did not have to queue to go on any of the rides or to meet any Disney characters. We also arranged for her to have a special one-on-one meeting with her favourite Disney character Moana, which she loved. After 3 magical days the family flew back to Luton airport where we met them and drove them home. The journey home was full of laughter and incredible stories and it was wonderful to hear all of the memories that the family had made together.We would not be able to grant amazing wishes like this without your incredible support so to everyone who chooses to support our Charity we would like to say THANK YOU ...
