Our Experiences, Interventions or Moments-in-Time

The charity's online Muscle Dream activities include bespoke wellbeing programmes delivered virtually that are focused on improving mental health and boosting emotional wellbeing. From Art, Laughter, Improv and Superhero programmes to Thriving/Flourishing and Mindfulness for Muscle Warrior Mums.

Every virtual moment-in-time is different, but its impact is always the same – these tailored Muscle Dream interventions are carefully designed to promote wellbeing, boost physiological and psychological wellness, improve confidence and communication skills, uplift morale and boost resilience as well as help participants celebrate their strengths. That's the #powerof657!

First of its kind ground-breaking research by clinical psychologists proves that ‘wish fulfilment experiences’ deliver transformational, life-enhancing benefits for children and young adults with life-limiting
conditions like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

In partnership with the University of Hertfordshire, our powerful impact report academically validates and robustly evidences the purity of our work. From increased confidence, self-esteem, starting new hobbies, feeling empowered to achieve life goals and developing new skills, these are just some of the key outcomes for children, young people and young adults living with life limiting conditions like DMD that make up >96% of the charity's beneficiary audience.

It's believed that this is the only known research that has analysed in detail (both quantitative & qualitative data) the impact that personalised experiences such as learning a new skill, taking the controls of an aircraft and experiencing level flight or enjoying a bespoke immersive programme experience can have on the lives of those living with Muscular Dystrophy.
