Dreamflight
About
Dreamflight is a UK charity that takes children with a serious illness or disability on their holiday of a lifetime to Orlando. The experience can be life-changing and gives young people an opportunity to do something that medicine can't: discover independence, confidence and a new outlook.
Each October, 192 children from across the UK come together to board Dreamflight's privately-hired aircraft to Orlando. Parents are not allowed, but instead a huge volunteer team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other helpers look after the children for 10 days. Our volunteers and supporters fundraise for the charity year-round, in order to make the trip happen.
Dreamflight is not just a holiday; it does something that medicine can't. The children get the opportunity to discover independence, confidence, and a whole new outlook on life. Often for the first time, they realise that they are not the odd one out. They gain perspective and experience things that they never thought possible. Charity number 1117303
