  • The Dreams we offer

The Dreams we offer

Dreams Come True creates magical moments for children in the greatest of need.  

For children facing disabilities, serious illnesses and the challenges of living in poverty, we turn dreams into reality - one special moment at a time.

Our team works with the professionals supporting children, their families and carers to create personalised dreams that achieve a lasting impact.  We always go the extra mile and work to ensure our dreams exceed all expectations and deliver the most magic that we possibly can.


Whether it's an unforgettable experience, specialist equipment to make everyday life so much easier, sensory toys that spark imagination and learning, or a bedroom makeover that transforms a child’s sanctuary, we’re here to make it happen. Our dream impact goes beyond just the benefits felt by the child and brings joy to the whole family too, like a special holiday that creates memories to treasure forever. But it’s not just about individual dreams. We also believe in making magic in the wider community, through higher impact dreams that benefit multiple children and leave an ongoing legacy in the communities we impact. 



Equipment
Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Equipment dreams provide access to vital specialist equipment and technology that improves a child’s everyday life. From adapted trikes to sensory toys, we aim to give children the tools they need to enjoy life with more independence. Tools that would otherwise be out of reach for their families:

  • Sensory toys
  • Adapted trikes
  • Tablets, laptops and accessories
  • Games consoles
  • Travel pods
  • Garden toys and play equipment
  • Sports and hobby kits

UK holidays
Holiday dreams are all about creating lasting memories. Whether it’s an unforgettable day of adventure or a relaxing break away from the stress of everyday life, we want to help families create treasured moments together. For some families, this may be the first holiday a child has experienced.

  • Theme park stays
  • Resort holidays
  • Caravan holidays
  • Hot tub lodge breaks
  • Centre Parcs
  • City breaks and sightseeing

Special days out
Experience days create wonderful new experiences, unlike anything else. They allow a child to take part in something totally new and exciting, or perhaps fulfil a lifelong passion. Special days out are full of magical moments and cherished memories

  • A day at the theatre
  • Watching your favourite sports team
  • Theme park visits or annual passes
  • Special party or celebration
  • Visit your favourite TV show set
  • Become something totally different for the day – like a zoo keeper, a pilot or a princess!
  • Take part in your favourite sport or hobby

Bedroom makeovers
For children who are bed or home bound – or for those children where their room is their safe space where they feel calm and can self-regulate, our dream makers go the extra mile to redesign a child’s bedroom, creating a personalised space that brings comfort and joy. From building in technology to make life more enjoyable or easier, to decorating with their favourite theme, to creating functional spaces with sensory elements, these makeovers provide an environment that supports both the child’s emotional and physical needs.

  • Painted or wallpapered walls
  • Bespoke murals or personalised design
  • Specialist lighting
  • Technology in the room
  • Purchase and installation of furniture
  • Soft furnishing and final touches
