Refer a child Applications are now closed. We only accept referrals from medical, healthcare, education, or social care professionals. Applications are on a first come first served basis to ensure that no child is waiting too long for their dream. Once we have reached our maximum number of referrals each month, the portal will close, and re-open again on the 3rd of the following month (or the following Monday if this falls over a weekend). If the portal closes and you would like to make a referral, please do so when the portal reopens each month, as we do not operate waiting lists. When you are satisfied the child you would like to refer meets our criteria, please complete the online form at the bottom of this page.
