The Blackpool SEND partnership and other services around the town host a number of events throughout the year for social activities, training and networking.
Dreams Come True Charity
Dreams Come True have a fantastic opportunity for children in Blackpool to have their dreams come true! They are currently delivering dreams to children and young people aged 5 to 18 living in Blackpool with disabilities and serious medical conditions. The dreams are flexible to suit the needs of each child. They work with the family to create a dream totally centred around the child, providing a unique and magical experience. Dreams can include equipment, experiences, UK holidays or bedroom makeovers.
Referrals must be made by a professional who knows the child well such as a support worker, teacher or health professional. Please use the online referral form.
Eligibility criteria applies.
For more details, please contact Dougy at dougy@dreamscometrue.uk.com or telephone 07546 223755.
