Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are really looking forward to seeing everyone on the 6th for our first Langtons BBQ, after finally finishing our renovations.

So many of you have kindly asked what you could bring along with you, the BBQ is fully catered and therefore your presence is all we ask. However, if you would like to make a donation to this amazing charity we would be absolutely delighted. This is a local charity that we would love to support and Avril and her team work so hard to help grant dreams for many children and young adults who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Lots of love Sam & Andy 💕💕

Avril Mills BEM set up The Dream Factory in 2008 in memory of her son Oliver, who died from leukaemia aged nine.

While Oliver was ill, Avril helped to grant a dream for a little boy who wanted to visit a football club. That day, Oliver said, “Mum, when I grow up I want to grant dreams just like you”. Sadly, Oliver never got that chance, but the premise for The Dream Factory was founded. Since 2008, we have granted over 690 dreams in his memory.

The Dream Factory aims to brighten the lives and encourage hope for children and young adults aged between three and twenty five years who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and/or severe disabilities by way of granting wishes and dreams.

We aim to do everything possible to grant a child’s dream, which 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 Disneyland Paris or to be a Princess for the day. No wish is too small. All our dreams are made possible with the invaluable help of our fabulous Dream Makers who are all volunteers.
