Expressions of Interests for 2025 Community Dreams

We are excited to be seeking expressions of interest for eligible Community Dream projects in 2025.Community Dreams go beyond supporting an individual child and look to reach the wider community, benefiting larger groups of children who have it tough. 

This could be with a dream for a special needs school, providing equipment like interactive technology to classrooms, providing a sensory toy library, or organising a magical day out. 

Following your project submission and approval, Dreams Come True will work to source specific funding for your dream, and Community Dreams are awarded once per organisation (however, this does not impact a child's ability to receive an individual dream). 

The process:

• Step 1: Check your eligibility and fill in our Expression of Interest application form at the bottom of this page. 
• Step 2: Our team will review your application and contact you with the outcome. If accepted, then we will take the project forward to the planning stage.
• Step 3*: Our team will start actively researching opportunities to fund your dream. This could happen quickly but may take several months.

*Please note, progression to step 3 does not guarantee that a dream will be fulfilled. We cannot make any promises that we will be able to find funding for your dream, but we are very keen to try.

Successful applicants understand this is not an immediate release of funds, rather Dreams Come True will be working towards finding suitable funding for your project. 

Notes for Applicants: 

• Please apply with specific items or experiences in mind, and share details of your equipment wish-list or experience day request in as much detail as possible including estimated cost per item/expense. 
• Please note that funding cannot be awarded retrospectively. Whilst awaiting the outcome of your application, please do not purchase any items applied for or the funding will not be released. 

We are excited to work with you and fund your Community Dreams across the UK!
