To lead community heritage projects

DREAM are a social enterprise delivering community heritage projects and archaeological excavations to save and transform unloved heritage sites into community spaces. In doing so they hope to transform society, promoting community, well-being and heritage over GDP and growth, and founding in both the old and young an appreciation towards both their natural and historic landscape to ensure the care of these places for future generations. DREAM 's work intends to resolve many common issues of today- saving local historic sites and green spaces; improving community relations and friendships eliminating isolation and loneliness; providing the opportunity for hands-on work and accomplishment contributing towards good health physically and mentally; educating entire communities in their local history, restoring in them a 'pride of place' and reducing anti-social behaviour on these sites; providing training in old masonry techniques and craftsmanship which are transferable skills to other jobs and thus reducing area unemployment; and providing enjoyment improving well-being.

By involving the community in the entirety of the restoration of these historic sites, it is hoped that communities will carry on looking after these sites and using them for community activities, really taking 'ownership' and pride in these places. DREAM is currently setting up community groups-the so-called 'DREAM TEAMS'-to ensure the continual maintenance, care and positive use of these historic sites after DREAM's initial intervention. They recognize that it can be very difficult to set-up a community group with many policies, requirements and rules to adhere to. Thus DREAM offers continual support to these DREAM TEAMS and has created a 'pack' with all the necessary documents in to form a local community group/DREAM TEAM.
