About Dreamflight

Dreamflight is an independent UK charity providing amazing holidays for children with a serious illness or disability. Since 1987, we have taken over 6,800 children on their holiday of a lifetime to Orlando and, in recent years, have expanded to also offer exciting activity breaks in the UK.

These holidays are not only fun but inspire confidence and independence. They give the children the chance to leave their families behind and experience new adventures with the support of our amazing teams of medical and non-medical volunteers. Although Dreamflight holidays last a relatively short time, the positive impact and benefits for these children often last a lifetime.

Dreamflight has grown since its inception 38 years ago, with considerable strategic and operational support from our dedicated Trustee board, small but mighty office team and incredible volunteers. With a new CEO and exciting plans to develop our offer further in the future, now is a great time to join a charity that punches above its weight. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of deserving young people.
