02 Activities

What the charity does

Dreamflight provides children with a serious illness or disability between the ages of 8-14 with their holiday of a lifetime to the theme parks of Orlando, Florida, or for children aged between 8-16 a UK holiday. The experience of being away from home, often for the first time, enables them to enjoy a degree of independence and they return more confident as a result of their achievements.
