Donate your unwanted Clothes

It’s that time of year to have a wardrobe clear out. You can support The Dream Factory and declutter your wardrobe at the some time by donating your clothes to reDonate. Every month reDonate makes a donation to The Dream Factory ; this month they donated over £900.

Urgent Appeal

For seventeen years, The Dream Factory has been dedicated to granting dreams to young people who are most in need. Thanks to your support, we have brought joy and hope to nearly 750 young people and their families during some of the most challenging times.

But today, we face an urgent challenge. The current economic climate has significantly impacted our funding, and without financial support we are  at risk of being unable to continue our vital work.

We currently have 40 dreams on our waiting list. Please help us to keep those dreams alive.

Your donation, no matter the size, will make an immediate and tangible difference. Please act today to help us continue granting dreams for incredible, brave children and young adults.
