Story

I became aware of Follow Your Dreams in 2021. My family were 1 of 111 families that were gifted a chance of a lifetime funded 5-day break at Bluestone Wales. The dream for January 2024 is to send over 300 families!

Follow Your Dreams help children and young adults with additional needs spanning across the whole of the UK. As a parent to an Autistic son, being able to consult Follow Your Dream for help, support and guidance really does make the difference.

To see my son who is normally an introvert, become so happy, excited and enjoying himself in an unfamiliar environment was truly magical. Made possible only by the hard work, dedication and kindness by all at Follow Your Dreams. 

You can help me to give something back and help the charity to achieve their dream. Play, Stay and Sign is a pioneering project which involves taking families with disabled children away for a residential stay where the focus is on encouraging sign language in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. All money raised for Bluestone 2024 will be restricted funding and ringfenced specifically for this project. Please help make the dream come true. 

By purchasing a ticket for £5, you will be entered into a prize raffle to win a £250 Bluestone accommodation voucher. Please dig deep.
