THE Dream Factory is Lakeside’s charity of the year.

The charity aims to brighten the lives of young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Patrons Vicki Michelle and Colin McMillan attended the launch at the shopping centre, where staff and customers hope to raise £25,000 for the cause.

Also at the launch was nine-yearold Honey Fenton, who has a rare heart condition.

She recently raised £263 for the charity who help to support her disabled sister, Hope, 16.
