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.

Over the past 33 years, we have supported with thousands of children and young people bringing joy, hope and inspiration to not only them, but also their families, friends, carers and communities.

Who are we?

Dreams Come True is a national charity which has been delivering dreams to children and young people with serious or life limiting illnesses for more than 30 years.

We place our Dreams families at the centre of our universe, we exist because of them.

We have a simple goal which is to deliver tailor-made dreams that make a difference to the lives of our amazing children and young people.

We treat everyone of our families as individuals and treat each and everyone with the utmost empathy and respect.

We only want the best outcome and we will move mountains to make a Dream Come True.

How we work

In everything we do, with everyone we deal with, we act in the same way – with love, care and attention.

These translate into our services, from a phone call to a parent, supporting the children and young at the heart of this, through our fundraising activities, partnering with our volunteers, to managing corporate donations

In everything we do, we are:

• Transparent – explicitly open and unambiguously clear about the processes behind the charity;
• Impactful – everything is about the tangible impact (on the child/young person, family, community);
• Enabling – giving opportunities to those who may not have it otherwise;
• Effective – obtaining funds for equipment and experiences to the people who need it most;
• Supportive – working closely with families and healthcare professionals to deliver the right dreams;
• Modest – this is not about us, it is about the children and their families; we are the facilitators and enablers
• Respectful – treating each person with the utmost respect and empathy;
• Resolute – bold, steady, unwavering, single-minded (persistent in making the dreams happen, whatever that means)
