Useful resources for wish families
We're often asked for help and information on other support charities – and sometimes we need our wish families to obtain official documents to assist us in granting their wish.
Please see the list below for links to useful websites and other charities.
Dreamflight
Dreamflight is a registered UK charity that changes young lives through taking children with a serious illness or disability on the holiday of a lifetime to Orlando, Florida.
Each October, 192 children from all over the UK, accompanied by a team of medical carers, board a Boeing 747 - hired by Dreamflight - and spend a magical 10 days of fun and excitement in Orlando. Many of the children could not undertake such a trip without the support of the army of volunteer doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and non-medics who care for the children 24 hours a day.

Euan's Guide
Euan's Guide makes it easier for disabled people to find great places to go. It is a site where disabled people, their family, friends and carers can find and share reviews on the accessibility of venues around the UK and beyond. Reviews are also sent to venue owners and this can be a positive and powerful opportunity for education and change. Euan's guide hopes to give everyone the freedom to explore.
