Hidden Communities Project

March 2019

– The Kentown Wizard Foundation gift £1 million to Dreams Come True in order to extend the charity’s reach to seriously ill children and young people in areas of deprivation. This grant will enable the charity to be a truly national organisation, with a regional structure and a local focus.

No other wish-granting charity is directly supporting the most disadvantaged communities in the United Kingdom. The aim of this project will be to not only increase the impact of the charity in those areas but to also expand in other areas identified as the most deprived communities according to the Index of Mass Deprivation.

Richard Ashton, Chief Executive of Dreams Come True, said: “We look forward to continuing our relationship with The Kentown Wizard Foundation, working together to positively impact the lives of more young people who have life-limiting medical conditions and are living in some of the most deprived and hard-to-reach communities in the country.”
