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.

Unfortunately, many of these children and young people are living challenging lives. Having a dream come true has a profound impact on them. Whether that be equipment or an experience, these dreams allow for improvements to day-to-day life, and for precious memories to be created.

We strongly believe that every child and young person has a right to dream, no matter who they are, or where they live.

The ongoing impact of years of social disparity has exacerbated the loneliness and challenges of these young people and their families, especially those in the most deprived and disadvantaged communities across the UK.

Having a Dream Come True is empowering, enriching and helps children and young people to see beyond their daily routine.  This experience helps them to focus on the things they can do, improves day-to-day life, and often increases enjoyment and ambition to reach personal goals.

An example list of conditions that our dream recipients have are: (please bear in mind that this is by no means exhaustive, more illustrative of the kinds of illnesses some of the brave young people have)

• Cancer treatment
• Severe autism, learning difficulties or global developmental delay
• Heart, lung, bowel and kidney conditions
• Degenerative neurological disorders or brain damage
• Muscular dystrophy
• Conditions affecting the immune system
• Genetic disorders

We help those ‘unseen and unheard’ families who desperately need our bespoke support. Those who do not have the confidence, awareness of Dreams Come True or simply the time to look for the help that can make their family life better.

These families are living in the most difficult of circumstances, and have children who are seriously ill; even thinking about a ‘dream’ scenario  a priority for them.
