Work with Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C.

Partner With Dreamscape

Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C. works with businesses, venues, organisations, sponsors and community spaces who want to help create calmer, more accessible places for people to connect.

Partnership can look different depending on your space, capacity and community.

You might want to host a session, sponsor community activity, support an event, offer a venue, collaborate on a project, or help make everyday spaces feel more welcoming.

Together, we can build softer routes into community.

Why Partner With Dreamscape?

Not everyone finds traditional community spaces easy.

For many neurodivergents, anxious adults, socially isolated people, carers and people rebuilding confidence, everyday spaces can feel too loud, too rushed, too busy or too difficult to access.

Dreamscape exists to create calmer, low-pressure spaces where people can connect at their own pace.

By partnering with Dreamscape, you can help make community feel more accessible, welcoming and human.

Small changes in everyday spaces can make a big difference to someone’s confidence and sense of belonging.

Who Can Partner With Us?

We welcome conversations with people and organisations who care about creating calmer, more inclusive community spaces.

Businesses

Local businesses who want to support Dreamscape, sponsor activity or create a more welcoming presence.

Venues

Cafés, halls, community spaces, pubs, activity venues or other spaces that may be suitable for low-pressure sessions.

Community Groups

Groups who want to collaborate, signpost, share resources or work together around community connection.

Sponsors

People or businesses who want to support sessions, seats, events, resources, trips or community activity.

Service Providers

Organisations who want to connect people with calm, non-referral-based community pathways.

Event Organisers

Ways To Partner With Dreamscape

Partnership can be shaped around what is suitable, safe and manageable for everyone involved.

Host A Session

Offer a space for a Dreamscape meet-up, workshop, social, creative session or community activity.

Sponsor A Space

Help cover the cost of seats, sessions, venue hire, resources, refreshments or access support.

Support An Event

Work with us at fundraisers, community days, awareness events, stalls or calm activity spaces.

Train A Safe Presence

Have one or more suitable employees explore becoming a Dreamscape Community Companion, so your business has a calmer, more understanding presence for people who may feel anxious, overwhelmed or unsure.

Offer Resources

Donate materials, raffle prizes, supplies, equipment, venue use or practical support.

Create A Calmer Welcome

Work with Dreamscape to explore how your space could feel more accessible, predictable and welcoming.

All partnerships depend on suitability, safeguarding, venue access, availability, risk assessment, capacity and Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C.'s needs.

Partner Recognition

Approved Dreamscape partners may receive recognition to show that they are part of the Dreamscape community network. Depending on the partnership, this may include:
  • ✓ A Dreamscape partner certificate
  • ✓ A window sticker or display badge
  • ✓ Recognition on Dreamscape's website or social media
  • ✓ Clear guidance on how to describe the partnership
  • ✓ Support to understand Dreamscape's calm, low-pressure approach
  • ✓ A clearer pathway for people to recognise safer, more welcoming spaces
Partner recognition is only provided where a partnership has been agreed by Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C. Branding, stickers and certificates must only be used in line with Dreamscape guidance.

Dreamscape Community Companion Partner

Some businesses, venues or community spaces may want to go one step further by becoming a Dreamscape Community Companion Partner.

This means one or more suitable people within your setting may explore the Dreamscape Community Companion pathway, helping create a calmer, more understanding presence for people who may feel anxious, overwhelmed or unsure.

This does not mean your business becomes a therapy service, crisis service or clinical support provider.

It means your space is choosing to work with Dreamscape to better understand low-pressure, inclusive and community-focused support.

A Recognisable Safe Presence

A named person in your business or venue may become a familiar, calmer presence for people who need a softer welcome.

A Calmer Welcome

We can explore how your space could feel more predictable, accessible and welcoming for people who find everyday places difficult.

Clear Boundaries

The role stays non-clinical, low-pressure and boundaried. Partners are not expected to replace professional services.

Becoming a Dreamscape Community Companion Partner depends on suitability, training, safeguarding, capacity, agreement and Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C.'s approval.

What Partnership Is Not

Partnering with Dreamscape does not mean becoming a therapist, crisis service, safeguarding service or clinical provider.

Dreamscape partnerships are about creating calmer, more inclusive community spaces and supporting gentle routes into connection.

Partnership does not replace professional services, emergency support, mental health crisis care, safeguarding procedures or specialist support.

  • Not therapy
  • Not crisis support
  • Not medical care
  • Not a replacement for professional services
  • Not a guarantee that every person can be supported in every setting
  • Not independent use of Dreamscape branding without agreement

Clear boundaries help protect partners, Dreamscape, Dreamweavers and the wider community.

Contribution Fees & Partner Packages

Some partnerships may involve contribution fees, sponsorship packages, training costs, set-up costs or membership-style support.

This may depend on whether you are offering a venue, sponsoring community activity, becoming a Dreamscape Community Companion Partner, receiving training or using agreed Dreamscape partner materials.

Any contribution fees or partner packages will always be explained clearly before anything is agreed.

There are no hidden costs, and completing a partner enquiry form does not commit you to paying for anything.

We want partnerships to feel fair, transparent and sustainable for Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C. and the people we work with.

Local & Wider Partnerships

Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C. is currently rooted in Derbyshire and surrounding areas, with a growing vision for calmer, low-pressure community spaces.

We are open to conversations with suitable partners in Heanor, Ilkeston, Amber Valley, Derbyshire and surrounding areas.

As Dreamscape grows, we may also explore wider partnership conversations across England and Wales where there is alignment, capacity and a clear community need.

Wider partnership work would need to be developed carefully through Dreamscape Community Connections C.I.C., with clear boundaries, planning, safeguarding, training where needed and written agreement.

Dreamscape will grow carefully, not quickly at the cost of safety, trust or community care.
