Special Days

What will you do on your special day?

A life-threatening illness can drain your sprits as well as your body. The Willow Foundation believes that you deserve a special experience to boost your morale and confidence.

We're here to help you and your loved ones create an unforgettable day - a day of your choosing - where you tell us what you'd like to do and who you'd like to take with you. We'll take care of all the details and cover the costs. It's that simple.

If you are aged between 16 and 40 (inclusive), fit our medical criteria and are resident in the UK, all you need to do is fill out a special day application form and start dreaming of your special day.
