Annual Report & Accounts for year ending 31st October 2023

CEO’s Report for 2023

I am so pleased to report that after a difficult few years, we were able to help 175 families take a much needed respite break in the UK. This amounts to 183 CF children having had a holiday last year.

We continued this year as a team of four staff (one full time and three part time) and we have really worked hard to bring Dream Holidays back to its pre-Covid levels.

We have been very appreciative of several new grant giving trusts and foundations that have donated this year. Including a very generous donation from the Postcode Lottery.

In addition to this we still have many very loyal donors, some of whom have been donating to us for 25 plus years! I would like to thank all old and new donors for your very, very kind support. We cannot continue to help these families without your help.

I must also include all of the generous support we have received from Masonic, Rotary, Lions, Inner Wheel clubs, etc. and the many personal donors, we are appreciative for your donations no matter how big or small. Please forgive me if I have missed some out, but we are so grateful to all of you!

Overall, 665 people were helped this year and we would not be able to do this without your help, the staff of Dream Holidays all promise to continue to work as hard as they can in 2024 to be able to help even more CF families make wonderful memories together.

Fundraising Report

This year began, as with the previous few years, a nervousness of how fundraising would continue to recover from the pandemic and with the cost of living crisis also on going, I anticipated an up hill struggle.

However as I write this report, I am thrilled to say, we have had the highest income since the Pandemic began.

We are so pleased and proud of our regular donors. They continue to support us regularly. This year we have had 11 new Trusts and Foundations alongside the 76, all of whom have previously supported us at least once before.

We are thrilled to report, we have been supported this year by The Peoples Postcode Lottery— A grant of £20,000, to enable us to continue helping CF families across the UK.

We are also proud to announce we are now an accredited Living Wage Employer through the Living Wage Foundation. We have joined with over 14,000 other employers across the UK, who are committed to ensuring staff are paid a wage based on the cost of living.

We have been keen to see the number of families we help each year return to pre-pandemic figures.

Last winter I made a trip to visit some hospitals and speak to some of the CF nurses and social workers. We want to ensure our help is offered to any CF family struggling and to do this we need every CF children’s unit in the UK to be aware of us. (We currently receive referrals from over 80 clinics across the UK.)
