Dreams in the North West

Dreams Come True in Blackpool & the North West

With the support of the Kentown Wizard Foundation, we are pleased to be able to extend our reach, ensuring that more children with disabilities, serious illnesses and life limiting conditions in Blackpool and the North-West experience the magic of a dream.

At Dreams Come True, we believe that every child deserves to experience joy, create lasting memories, and feel special. Through this programme, we will work closely with families, professionals, and community organisations to reach children who might otherwise miss out on the opportunity to have their dream come true. Whether it’s a special trip, a piece of life-changing equipment, or a unique experience tailored just for them, our goal is to bring happiness and support to those who need it most.

Dreams we offer

Individual Dreams

If you are working with a child in Blackpool and the North West who could benefit from a dream, please see our Individual Dream criteria here.

Once you have referred a child, we will keep in touch with you along the way about the progress of the dream. We do all of the hard work, liaising with you as needed and we make sure that every aspect of the dream is completely free of charge for the families we support.

Together, we can make dreams come true for even more children.

Community Dreams

As part of our mission to make dreams come true, we also deliver Community Dreams. These are special projects that bring joy and lasting benefits to groups of children with disabilities, or serious illness living in communities that need it most. These dreams might include sensory gardens, accessible playgrounds, or special events. These are bespoke to the organisation and we look forward to hearing your ideas for your own Community Dreams.

If you have an idea for a Community Dream, we’d love to hear from you! Please see our Community Dreams criteria here.

You can make an application for our Community Dreams programme in Blackpool and the North West by completing the application form here.
