We are delighted to announce that the 2025 Art of Wishes Gala which took place on 13th October at the new Chancery Rosewood hotel in London raised an incredible £1.73m for Make-A-Wish UK.
Thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful event. Check out the video below of this magical night:-
The fourth biennial Art of Wishes Gala, held under the enchanting theme “Starry, Starry Night,” was an unforgettable evening of celebration and philanthropy supported by leading figures from the creative worlds of art, fashion and design. The event was graciously hosted by broadcaster Tania Bryer and featured a dynamic live auction conducted by Henry Highley, Principal Auctioneer at Phillips. Guests were treated to captivating performances by acclaimed artist Sam Ryder and the wonderful Capital Children’s Choir, adding a magical touch to a truly memorable night.
We would like to thank our auction partner Phillips, the galleries and artists who generously donated works to this year’s Gala, and all the guests who attended and supported on the night. As a result of your generosity, Make-A-Wish UK will be able to grant even more life-changing wishes to children living with a critical illness.
