What is a Dream? A dream is something special for each child that creates a moment of magic or provides lasting impact. Dreams Come True fulfils dreams for children living with disabilities, serious illnesses and medical conditions, and who also face challenges exacerbated by poverty. We are the only wish granting charity specifically supporting children living in the highest areas of deprivation across the UK. Our team of dream makers work closely with each family to deliver a dream that's made especially with that child in mind. Whether that's a holiday, a specially adapted trike, sensory toys or electronics to make every day life a little easier, an unforgettable experience day or even a bedroom makeover. A dream can also be something that benefits the wider community - you can read more about this on our Community Dreams page. Each dream we deliver aims to improve the physical health, mental health or emotional wellbeing of every child we support. This may be through increased confidence and understanding of the world around them through sensory play, or improved balance, co-ordination and strength when using their adapted trike, or improved wellness and mental health when relaxing in their newly designed bedroom. It may even be through holidays that bring the family together and allow them to create memories that are cherished forever. Every dream has a unique impact which allows that child to thrive. The types of dreams we offer are: Home Makeovers: Bedrooms redesigned by our team of dream makers, inspired by each dream child, or garden play equipment to enhance a child's environment Reimagined Community Spaces: Sensory rooms and outdoor playgrounds reimagined for children to access in their community Getaways: UK holidays and cherished experience days built to inspire a lifetime of memories Or something from our Small change, Big impact Programme: This programme aims to improve the daily lives of isolated children through access to vital equipment and technology. Our Makeovers, Experience Days and Small change, Big impact Programme can all be delivered on an individual basis or as part of a Community Dream.
