Helping seriously ill young adults to make precious memories
For more than 25 years, Willow has helped make wishes come true for seriously ill young adults and their loved ones by creating bespoke Special Days and Special Treats tailored to their individual needs.
We provide fun-packed family days out, quiet weekends away from it all, to a chance to meet heroes or fulfill a lifelong dream. Each experience is unique and creates precious memories that last a lifetime.
Willow stories
Every Willow story is unique, but each is an opportunity to take time out from the reality of serious illness, and treasure the moment.
See our stories page for more.
Make precious memories
If you are aged 16 to 40 and have been diagnosed with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness, we are here.
We are only able to accept applications from medical professionals, so please speak to a member of your medical team to arrange.
