In the North East, we’ve already brought magic to life by granting 2,418 life-changing wishes. But right now, 91 children across the region are still waiting for their wish to come true. These wishes reflect their hopes and dreams – from going on a UK holiday in a log cabin with a hot tub and having a shed makeover, to experiencing a marine adventure with sharks or visiting Scotland to drink Irn Bru.

With your support, we can turn these dreams into reality and create moments of joy and hope for children who need them most. Just like we did for George.

Born with half a working heart, George has faced three life-saving operations. But when asked what his one true wish would be, there was no hesitation—he wanted to be a Ghostbuster. From riding in an Ecto-1 car to going on a ghost hunt, his wish gave him an imaginative escape into a world where heroes are brave and different—just like him. "When I first watched Ghostbusters, it turned my whole entire life upside down—and it made it completely happy," he said. His wish was more than just a fun experience; it was a powerful reminder of everything he can do.
