WELCOME!

  The Donna’s Dream House Charity in Blackpool is a locally based trust providing free holiday experiences for

  children and teenagers with life-threatening illnesses and their families, and for recently bereaved siblings and

  their families.

  Whilst the voluntary team of Donna’s Dream House provides the expertise, enthusiasm and administration,

  it is the generosity of many companies, organisations and individuals in raising and donating money, that makes it

  possible to bring not only sunshine and fun into children’s lives, but a sense of wonder, adventure, laughter and

  a much-needed holiday in Blackpool for the whole family.

  As Donna’s Dream House is operated by volunteers only, the administration cost is about 1% to cover

  legal requirements. (Click HERE to see our details on the Charity Commission website). So 99p of each

  pound raised is used to provide the holidays and accommodation costs plus related support work.

We would like to thank everyone for their kind donations - without your support we would not be able to keep Donna's Dream House going. Through many generous donations it has been possible for us to expand and bring the same joy to teenagers with serious illnesses and for their families to capture some happy memories.

This website will tell you all about Donna's Dream House, the facilities and the process of nominating a family who could benefit from a holiday in Blackpool. If you are coming to stay with us, you should be able to find lots of information about Donna's Dream House and Blackpool in general, to help you plan how to get the most from your stay. And, you can read a bit about some of our guests.

Thanks to the generosity of many people and organisations, guests at Donna's Dream House will be having even more fun this year! On Saturday 13th February, the new 12-seater cinema (on which you can play a Nintendo Wii) was opened, adding to the hot tub and sauna opened in 2009. A real-live fairy horse and carriage calls in from time to time, taking the younger visitors (and some older ones!) on a short tour of Blackpool, and a great time is had by all.

WEBSITE HOSTED BY:

Channel 4 sent Secret Millionaire Gary Eastwood to Donna's Dream House for a few days to film an episode in March 2009. We haven't been able to get rid of him since, and he continues to be a fantastic friend and supporter of Donna's Dream House.
