The magic in the Muscle Dream formula is that they are always tailored. This highly personalised approach distinguishes MHF from other wish fulfilment and/or experiential charities in the UK – it is our point of difference, enabling our service to really stand out.
Today, the charity’s growing impact continues to be felt by beneficiaries and their families across the country – from improved confidence, greater self-esteem, and an increased sense of hopefulness to a powerful shared identity that connects families, giving a platform to share knowledge, memories and establish lasting friendships.
COVID-19 … it’s impact on our charity’s work [updated May 2020]To directly support the well-being of our beneficiaries and their families during this extremely difficult and challenging time, the charity’s priorities have changed:

“As a paediatrician working within the NHS and with an interest in neuromuscular disability, I come into contact with many people who have various types of muscular dystrophy. Due to the expertise and understanding of those working within The Muscle Help Foundation, I would recommend them beyond any other organisation in delivering amazing experiences to those with muscular dystrophy. They are able to understand both the individual and their families with their needs, which are often complex. They enable an amazing, safe and empowering experience for all involved”
Dr. Rachel Furley BA MB BChir MA MRCPCH |
Through our calendar of Muscle Dream experiences and programmes, the charity focuses on building a sense of community, by bringing together children, young people and their families who have a shared passion and interest.

As you will see from some of the previous experiences delivered, the charity accepts nominations of all shapes and sizes, including ones that are unique to an individual child or young person. For example, your nomination may say: “My Muscle Dream experience is to meet… or go… or see…”
However, due to popularity, the charity has been completely overwhelmed with these unique Muscle Dream nominations and despite best efforts, due to MHF being a very small charity with only 1 full-time paid member of staff, our wait-list continues to grow month-on-month.
As a direct consequence of COVID-19, the charity cannot guarantee that any new nominations for unique (singular) Muscle Dream experiences will be fulfilled. We will however acknowledge new nominations and we will always do our very best to help wherever and whenever we can.
