How do I volunteer?

Together, we're making dreams come true!

When you become a Dreams Come True volunteer, you'll be part of a team that makes a difference to children and families across the UK.

As a small charity, we work hard to provide moments of magic that have lasting impact for the children we work with. By supporting us through volunteering we can further our impact and reach more children who have it tough.

This was an incredible experience for me. I got so much out of supporting these families and found it incredibly fulfilling. Carl - Family Feedback Volunteer

By supporting us in any volunteering role, you will become a #DreamMaker and help bring moments of magic, smiles and joy to children all over the UK. Thank you for thinking of us and please see below for our current volunteer opportunities.

    Calling all content creators...

    Calling all content creators, photographers, videographers, and journalists - we'd love to hear from you!

    At Dreams Come True we deliver Dreams that reach thousands of children every year, each with a unique story as to why their dream was chosen and what difference it will make to their life.

    We are calling on skilled volunteers to join the DCT team to help us bring these stories to life. Whether you can volunteer for a day or would like to work with us long term, we would love to hear from you.
