A Chigwell BMW and Mini car dealership has chosen The Dream Factory as its charity of the year.

The children’s charity, in Fowler Road, Hainault, is “delighted” to have been selected by Synter Chigwell, Langston Road, Loughton.

Managing director Adrian Hill said: “The Dream Factory is a small charity with a big passion for making dreams come true. Our aim is to raise as much money as we can and fulfil as many dreams as we can in 2013.”

The charity, which was set up by Avril Mills, aims to brighten the lives and encourage hope for children and young adults who have either life limiting or life threatening conditions, or who suffer from severe disabilities.

Ms Mills added: “We are absolutely delighted with this news and look forward to working with Sytner Chigwell in the coming months.”

The charity has fulfilled more than 170 dreams and is currently working on another 30 wishes.
