Sarah Jones, Welsh Netball CEO said: “We have an existing relationship with Dreams & Wishes and this year we wanted to give more prominence to the charity and their engagement with the Celtic Dragons. It is important that netball uses its ever-growing profile as a platform to help charities like Dreams & Wishes.”
Adam Rattenberry, Dreams & Wishes Board Member said: “We are very grateful to Celtic Dragons for offering us the opportunity to continue the partnership we have built over the past few years.”
“These events are a fantastic opportunity, allowing us to provide experiences families can enjoy, by putting #SmilesOnFaces and making long lasting happy memories, whilst going through very difficult times.”
Sarah Palmer, Celtic Dragons Lead, is looking forward to welcoming Dreams & Wishes to the Sport Wales National Centre this season. She said: “Dreams & Wishes do an incredible job of making wishes come true for children experiencing unimaginable hardship and we are proud to be able to support their work.”
