OUR CHRISTIAN ETHOS

Originally launched as an outreach project of Newtownbreda Baptist Church in 2004, Dreamscheme has since developed into an independent charity, but continues to have a strong Christian ethos.

We are motivated by Christian compassion, believe in the worth of every person no matter their background and want to keep faith on the agenda.
