A Magical Visit from Dress Up and Dream!

We had a truly special session at Sparks recently when the amazing Dress Up and Dream team came to visit us once again — this time with none other than Rapunzel and The Little Mermaid!

The atmosphere was electric as we sang, danced, and played games together. There were lots of smiles, laughter, and fantastic photo opportunities with the princesses. For many of our group, this was an unforgettable experience — one that brought real joy and magic to the room.

“I loved every single second of it – I want to see what other princesses can visit us next time!” shared Laura a regular attendee at Sparks.

One of the most moving moments was when a normally quiet and reserved attendee found the confidence to get up and sing solo with one of the princesses. They completely came alive in the session — a powerful reminder of how important these opportunities are. Experiences like this help people express themselves, build confidence, and lose themselves in the joy of music and storytelling.

This visit was made possible thanks to generous funding, and after chatting with the group, we knew this idea would be a hit — and we were absolutely right! Most attendees had never experienced anything like it before, and it was truly magical for everyone involved.

We would love to bring Dress Up and Dream back again. If you’re able to support us — either through donations or funding — we’d be incredibly grateful. These kinds of sessions make a huge difference to the people we support.

A huge thank you to the Dress Up and Dream team for being so thoughtful and engaging with everyone who came. You really made the day special!
