The Dream Factory grants dreams to children and young adults with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and/or severe disabilities.

The charity was set up by Avril Mills BEM in memory of her son Oliver, who tragically died at just 9 following a 6-year battle with leukaemia.

A dream could be to meet their favourite celebrity, their favourite sporting hero, live the lifestyle of a millionaire for the day, own a laptop, or the latest mobile phone. They could choose to take a magical trip to Lapland or Euro Disney or to be a princess for the day. No wish is too small.

Our main goal will be to raise a minimum of £15,000 for The Dream Factory over the course of 2023 so even more dreams can be granted.

With a small team of staff and without receiving any government funding, dreams are only made possible through the kindness of donations.
