Our Mission

DreamCatchers WorldWide UK (DCWUK) is a registered CIC (16117427) empowering people to build confidence, independence, and opportunity through education, digital inclusion, and the arts.

Our story begins in New Zealand in 2014 where for the last 11 years we have been providing community services such as education, well-being and arts programmes with accessibility and compassion at our core.

We are now proud to expand our operations across South London particularly Lewisham, Greenwich, Southwark, Lambeth and Croydon boroughs, as a not-for-profit organisation, excited to partner, collaborate and make a difference. 

Dream it. Do it. Make a Difference.

What We Do

Smart Tech - Digital Literacy

Empowering our community with essential digital skills. From seniors learning to stay connected to beginners exploring technology, our sessions build confidence in using smartphones, computers, and online tools safely.

ESOL Classes

Our free ESOL classes, delivered both in person and online, support Lewisham, Greenwich, Southwark and Croydon residents to build confidence, improve communication skills, and develop everyday English.

Creative Writing Programme

Inside:Out – The Expression Lab is a free creative writing programme that helps participants develop their voice through brainstorming, collaboration, and creative exploration, culminating in a live performance.

Employment & Career Support - SEL Pathways

With South East London Pathways (SEL Pathways), we offer practical guidance and mentoring for job seekers, including CV advice, interview preparation, and career planning. We help individuals access meaningful work opportunities.

Hip Hop Dance & Mentorship

Our free Hip Hop dance classes support Lewisham, Greenwich, Southwark and Croydon residents to develop foundations, freestyle, and choreography, while offering mentorship on entering the industry and managing a career as a self-employed artist.

Mentorship - VMS

Our VMS (volunteer mentoring scheme), connects experienced mentors with mentees to provide guidance, support, and encouragement to build confidence and find new opportunities.

Home Connect

Your donation helps us bring Smart Tech support and vital community services directly into people’s homes, delivering personalised assistance at a time that suits them best. We have already begun in Southwark borough and are excited to expand further!

Work Experience Placements

Opportunities to gain hands-on experience, develop skills, and make a positive impact in the community. Ideal for young people, students, and those seeking new pathways. We have already welcomed students from the borough of Croydon and Lewisham and look forward to welcoming more from Greenwich and Southwark in our next placement period.

Manage My Money

Manage My Money is our 40-week financial literacy programme, helping participants build practical, lasting skills in budgeting, saving, and understanding credit and debt. Rooted in community, the programme breaks down complex financial concepts into clear, accessible learning — empowering individuals and families across South London to take control of their financial futures.

Green Circle

The Green Circle is a 40-week sustainability programme helping participants build practical, everyday environmental habits — from reducing waste to sustainable living. Through hands-on learning and community-based projects, participants work together on real initiatives that benefit the local area, building greener habits and making a lasting, positive impact on their community.
