Donate your leftover currency to Merlin's Magic Wand

Merlin’s Magic Wand is a global children’s charity that supports children facing challenges of serious illness, disability or adversity. The charity makes the magic of Merlin Entertainments accessible to children with three magic spells:

“Magical Days Out” – providing free tickets and a contribution towards travel for families to enjoy their day at a Merlin Entertainments’ attraction;

“Merlin’s Magic On Tour” – delivering the magic of Merlin Entertainments to children in local communities; and

“Merlin’s Magic Spaces” – transforming areas in hospitals, orphanages, educational facilities and more into amazing spaces around the world.

The money you raise will go back into these 3 core programmes, funding transformational projects (which have an average cost of £25,000 each), grants for attraction staff to take the magic of their attraction to local schools, hospitals and hospices (up to £200 per trip), and travel contributions (average of £28) to help families get to the attraction for their day out.

Merlin’s Magic Wand helps over 100,000 children and families every year to have a magical, memorable moment together and we want to continue reaching more new families for years to come. Your support and donations are greatly appreciated in the pursuit of more smiles, giggles and laughs!
