Trustees

Dreams Come True is governed by our Board of Trustees, who have a wealth of experience in a number of different business sectors.

We meet our Trustees throughout the year who provide us with knowledge and support on how to continue our mission to ensure that every child and young person with a serious illness or life-limiting condition has their dream fulfilled. We are incredibly grateful to our Trustees for helping us make dreams come true.

Join the team

We are always on the lookout for people who share our values and mission of enabling individuals with serious and life-limiting conditions to fulfil their dream.
What is a Dream?

A dream offers hope for the future. It builds strength and resilience to fight another day. It helps stop a feeling of isolation. It provides something to make everyday life more bearable. Above all it inspires confidence, a sense of wellbeing and provides treasured family memories that last long after the dream has been granted. More info
What we do

We enable children and young people with serious or life-limiting conditions from disadvantaged backgrounds to feel the long-term impact of having a dream fulfilled. We are passionate about empowering and supporting those who might not even consider having a dream come true. More info
Who we support

We make dreams come true for children and young people with life-limiting and serious illnesses living in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities as we believe that every child has the fundamental right to dream. More info
How it works

We work exclusively with, and only manage dream referrals from, those who know the Dreamers best –medical, healthcare and social care professionals.
Donate foreign currency

We have teamed up with Leftover Currency to raise funds by collecting spare foreign coins and banknotes. Simply fill out the charity exchange form and send it along with your currency to Leftover Currency.
How do I volunteer?

Without our incredible volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to fulfil any of the dreams of the children and young people who live with serious and life-limiting conditions. More info
Skydive

The BPA (British Parachute Association) qualified tandem instructor does all of the hard work for you, allowing you to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of flying through the clouds from over 10,000 feet at up to 120 mph.
About us

We directly support those children and young people with serious or life-limiting conditions, living in the hardest to reach and most deprived areas. Our belief is that every young person has the right to dream, no matter who they are, or where they live.
