Daring to Dream®
Supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of adults in Wales living with physical illness
Daring to Dream’s charitable purpose is to support the emotional health and wellbeing of patients, aged 16 years and over, who are under the care of hospital clinics across Wales.
Daring to Dream:
– Raises awareness of the need for support of emotional health and wellbeing for all patients in Wales
– Provides that support through the creation of non-clinical ‘safe havens’ in hospitals for patients, their relatives and the staff who care for them
– Facilitates services and activities that support the wellbeing of patients (be they at home or in hospital), including its annual live-streamed Lleswyl festival
This emotional demand of being chronically, seriously, or critically ill, is on top of the immense physical demands generated by the ill-health itself. For a patient to respond as well as possible on a physical level to their health challenges, it is essential that they also dig deep emotionally.
We aspire to help patients dare to dream that their life can still be full of colour and joy.
