Achieve Your Dream

“Achieve your dream” is a charity which was set up to

help make young people’s lives better. There is so much
pressure on young people today – exams, worrying
about life in general, the need to do well and fit in –
there was a real need to make good things for young
people. “Achieve your dream” was set up in 1997 by a
group of businessmen and women. They want to help
young people achieve their dream and have happier and
healthier lives. All you have to do is write to them and
inspire them with your dream. When you apply, your
letter will be read and they will respond to it within
three weeks – so you don’t have to wait a long time to
find out whether you will live your dream! Your dream is
up to you! It could be anything from learning to
snowboard, climb a mountain, or fly a glider*. You might
dream of doing something incredible but too expensive
to even consider, or you might simply want an
experience that is out of this world. They haven’t run any trips to the moon just yet, but some young people
have had the chance to touch the skies!“Achieve your dream” has the money and the people that can make
things happen for you. They have thousands of companies and celebrities who want to help make a
