The Dream Day initiative

Finding activities for children who are unwell or have special needs can be a challenge for many carers. It's important to provide these children with opportunities for fun and stimulation, even if they are unable to participate in typical activities. That's why we have come up with a special day out program designed specifically for these children.

Our program offers a range of activities that cater to the unique needs of each child. Whether it's a movie day out or a fun activity in the comfort of their own home, we strive to create a memorable experience for both the carer and the foster child. And the best part? It's completely free of charge.

We understand the importance of giving these children a day to look forward to, despite their challenges. By organizing a special day out, we aim to bring joy and happiness into their lives, even if it's just for a few hours. From watching their favorite movie to playing their favorite game, we work closely with carers to ensure that the day is tailored to the child's interests and needs.

The feedback we have received from carers and children alike has been overwhelmingly positive. Many children have expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to have a day dedicated to them, where they can forget about their illness or special needs and simply enjoy themselves. For carers, the program offers a much-needed break and a chance to bond with the child in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.

So if you know a child who could benefit from a special day out, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are committed to creating unforgettable experiences for these children and helping to make their days a little brighter. Let's make a difference together.

Children who are in foster care or other care situations are encouraged to write emails or letters to us in a completely confidential manner. They are not required to include any personal identifying information such as addresses, instead, they are encouraged to express their personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This process is designed to be completely anonymous, providing a safe space for children to share without fear of retribution or judgment.

We ensure that every email or letter received from a child gets a response within a week, a maximum of 7 days. During our response, we approach the conversation as a friend would, discussing their personal issues with compassion and understanding. We also aim to encourage and instill positive thoughts during these discussions, as we understand the importance of a positive mindset in overcoming challenges.

We take privacy and confidentiality very seriously in this process. Every piece of information shared with us is handled with the utmost care, ensuring that it remains confidential and private throughout the entire process. This commitment to privacy extends to every interaction, ensuring that the children's trust in our process is well-placed and respected.

In addition to providing a platform for these children to express their thoughts and feelings, our intention is to offer a strong support system. We wish to become a reliable resource they can turn to, a source of comfort during difficult times. Our team is composed of empathetic individuals, trained to handle sensitive conversations with the care and respect they deserve.

We also believe in the power of positive reinforcement and the significant impact it can have on a child's perspective. Thus, our responses are crafted carefully, not only to address their concerns but also to foster resilience and optimism. We want to show them that even though they may be facing obstacles, they possess the strength and the resources to overcome them.

Moreover, we're committed to maintaining a high level of confidentiality and privacy. We understand the importance of trust in these situations, and we strive to uphold it in every interaction. All information shared with us is handled with the utmost care and discretion. We treat every piece of shared information with the respect it deserves, ensuring it remains private and confidential throughout the entire process. This unwavering commitment to privacy extends to every interaction, reinforcing the trust placed in our process.
