Last night Wishes 4 Kids had the pleasure of visit

Last night Wishes 4 Kids had the pleasure of visiting the Three Swans Hotel in Market Harborough and meeting all of the amazing managers from The Coaching Inn Group. The managers had all agreed that instead of doing Secret Santa they would each like to bring a present for a child and donate them to our Charity. Over 80 different presents were donated to us and every single one of them will be delivered to lots of very deserving local children in time for Christmas.
We cannot thank everyone from The Coaching Inn Group enough for your generosity and for choosing to support our 'wish' children. Your kindness will make so many children very happy over Christmas. THANK YOU❤️

We would like to thank everybody who has supported

Last weekend we had the great pleasure of granting

Last weekend we had the great pleasure of granting a very special little girl's wish to go and watch Disney's Dancing on Ice. We took her and her lovely family to the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham where everyone enjoyed hospitality treatment in the Green Room before the show. The show was incredible and it was wonderful to watch the little girl singing away to each song and smiling the entire time. After the show we surprised the family with a very special meet and greet experience with Mickey and Minnie Mouse where everyone received a huge cuddle from them and had their photos taken. It was a wonderful day that the little girl and her family will never forget❤️

Yesterday we met the most amazing young lady and granted her wish......to meet and feed a sloth!!! This incredible young lady has not been able to leave her house in over 2 years and so we arranged for Talita the sloth to come and pay her a visit at her home. Talita arrived on her favourite branch and 'hung around' for well over an hour where our young lady was able to stroke her and feed her. It was so heartwarming to see how much this experience meant to the young lady and her lovely family and to hear afterwards that it has been 'the best day ever'.
Despite everything this young lady is going through, her smile said it all and this is certainly a day that she will never ever forget❤️❤️

We recently granted the wish of this very special

We recently granted the wish of this very special little boy who has been through so much over the last few years. His wish was to go to Disneyland Paris and meet Mickey Mouse. We sent him and his family for a 3 day, 2 night, magical experience where the little boy was treated like a VIP everywhere he went. The family were taken to the front of every queue including all of the rides and to see all of the different Disney characters. His favourite moment of all was when he met Mickey Mouse one-on-one and they had photos together and he got Mickey's autograph.
The family had front row seats for the parades and firework shows and loved their character breakfast on their second day.
They had the most amazing time together and 'made memories that will last forever.'
We would not be able to grant these magical wishes without your wonderful support and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who chooses to support us, enabling us to make children's dreams come true. THANK YOU❤️

This past weekend, Wishes 4 Kids had the pleasure

This past weekend, Wishes 4 Kids had the pleasure of granting this wonderful little girl's wish by taking her and her amazing family to London so that they could all enjoy Matilda the Musical. We drove down to London on Saturday morning and after a trip to Hamley's toy store we headed for the Cambridge Theatre where the little girl thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular show. We then enjoyed a lovely meal together before the family settled into their hotel room for the evening. Yesterday, after a delicious breakfast, we headed to the Design Museum where the little girl was able to visit the Barbie Exhibition which she loved.
We had the most incredible time with the family and it was heartwarming to see how happy the little girl was throughout her very special weekend.

We recently had the pleasure of granting this wonderful little boy's wish. He loves animals and so we sent him and his lovely family for an overnight experience to Chessington World of Adventures. They stayed in the Chessington Safari Hotel, in a Gruffalo themed room with a view of the wanyama, where they could watch all of the different animals. The little boy enjoyed all of the many rides and attractions and his favourite part was his VIP experience where got to feed the giraffes. The family had a brilliant time and were able to make wonderful memories together.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of granting this

Last weekend we had the pleasure of granting this amazing little boy's wish to go to Legoland. His family had only asked for a day trip and so were shocked when we sent them for a 3 day, 2 night stay to the Legoland Resort Hotel in Windsor. They stayed in a Premium Pirate themed room and enjoyed everything that the park had to offer. The little boy said it was the best holiday ever and wants to live there!! He has suffered a great deal over the last 12 months and his wish gave them all 'joy and light in what has been a dark and bleak tunnel.'
The family had the most amazing weekend and will cherish the memories that they made together❤️

This little boy loves Leicester City and his wish

This little boy loves Leicester City and his wish was to be a Leicester City mascot. Last Saturday his wish came true and he was the matchday mascot for Leicester City vs Aston Villa. He met all of the players before the game who very kindly signed his football and had photos with him and then he enjoyed a kick about with Filbert Fox on the pitch while the players were warming up. The best part was yet to come when he lead the team out in front of over 32,000 fans, walking alongside side his favourite player.....Jamie Vardy.
After his mascot duties were over he was able to sit with his family and watch the match which, despite the result, he loved.
We would like to thank everyone at Leicester City FC for helping us to grant the little boy's wish, creating special memories that he will never forget.

Last week we granted a very special wish for a ver

Last week we granted a very special wish for a very special little girl. Her wish was to watch Frozen the Musical as she loves everything about Frozen, especially Elsa and Anna. We took her and her lovely family for an overnight stay in London where, after a trip to Covent Garden and watching the incredible street performers, we headed to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. We sat together and enjoyed the magnificent performance of Frozen and straight after the show the real magic happened.....we had arranged a private meet and greet with Elsa and Anna and the family had no idea!!!! The little girl could not believe what was happening and it was wonderful to see how happy and excited she was.
After all of the excitement of the show, we enjoyed a meal together at the Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly Circus before settling in to the Strand Palace Hotel. The next morning we visited the Disney Store and M&M World before heading home. The family had 'an amazing and memorable experience that will stay with them forever.'
We would like to say a huge thank you to Disney for helping us to arrange the meet and greet and to Elsa and Anna who were amazing. Words cannot describe how much your kindness meant to us all and we cannot thank you all enough for making the little girl's dream come true❤️
