Story
We are a small Scottish Charity based in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, Who work tirelessly for these Amazing Children.
The charity helps families with children going through gruelling treatments for Cancer, leukaemia, and other life-threatening illnesses. We help the children to meet their Celebrity and Sporting idols, go to concerts, theatres, football games and outings such as theme parks, Blair Drummond Safari park, Zoos, Restaurants or anything they desire to make their lives a little more bearable during this hard time.
Some of the stars that have been kind enough to give us their time include Ed Sheeran, Johnny Depp, The Script, Kylie Minogue, Little Mix as well as The Scotland Football team, Celtic and Rangers, Ant and Dec and Spiderman, Tom Holland. We made it possible for terminally ill Katie Papworth to meet and propose to Ed Sheeran in Glasgow.
In the 11 years since we became a registered charity ,we have purchased a fully accessible Respite holiday home at Craig Tara Holiday Park in Ayr where the families can go for a break away from the hospital. Already over 3000 families have had time away in DreamMaker 1. We cover all the costs for the families and the feedback we receive from them is a testament to how these breaks are badly needed to give them time together as a family at these horrendous times. .
Our Team work tirelessly throughout the year to ensure every child gets an amazing experience that makes this hard time in their lives a bit brighter.
The difference these events make to the Children is immeasurable as they are sometimes only allowed out of the hospital for that couple of hours and can bring them on leaps and bounds at such a traumatic time in their and their family’s lives. We are continually trying to make the children that come to us with a wish or Dream, Smile and this could be a request for an Ipad to use in the hospital or a laptop to allow them to continue their studies while the cant go to school during treatment.
