About us

We make dreams come true for children who are living with a disability, serious illness, or life-limiting conditions from the highest areas of deprivation in the UK.  

Our belief is that every young person has the right to dream, no matter who they are, or where they live.

Over the years we have supported thousands of children and young people living with a disability, serious illness, or life-limiting condition, bringing moments of magic and delivering lasting impact to not only them, but also their families, friends, carers and communities.

How we work

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

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)
