We have a website,facebook groups and pages set up after I myself was looking for an exchange and saw how hard it was.I successfully moved on a 5 way swap from Eastbourne to London in August 2015.After studying the housing laws and going through the process myself i was able to recruit volunteers who have moved with us and help other families needing support.To date we have over 20,000 members and have conducted regular surveys to see the areas people are moving to and from and how we can support tenants further. By running workshops,events,networking days and training we can help tenants build teams and multi swaps as many find it difficult to set up or need training using the internet.
What we'll deliver:
- offer one to one support online 24 hours
- organise events in local community,workshops,networking and training
- save the councils and local authorities money moving families downsizing
- reach out to more families
- work with homeswapper the leading exchange site who have agreed to work with us on community projects
- working with mentorn media tv channel 4 documentaries
Why it's a great idea:
so many families need support with moving it's become the quickest way to get a transfer for a new job,move close to family,downsize/upsize move from adapted to adapted,flee due to domestic violence or to get that fresh start they deserve. If supported and pointed in the right direction one could be moved into their dreamhome within 6 weeks (42 day rule )
Steps to get it done:
with your support we can help many get that fresh start.we believe teamwork makes the dream work and communication is the key

Offer somethingAbout the Project Creator
Dreamhome Exchange covers the whole of the UK but our most popular areas that need exchanges in or out are London,Kent,Sussex,Essex and Surrey.We are a community interest company that focuses on supporting Social housing tenants looking for mutual exchanges and work with the community to help support those in desperate need to move.
We have been able to successfully help members with stages 1-5 of their moving process. I recently completed a five-way swap from Eastbourne to London and understand first hand of how a mutual exchange works and have helped many families move since Dreamhome Exchange was created.
We are a small team of 4 and have volunteers who have also moved and wanted to help others build multi swaps.
We believe that team work makes the Dream work and communication is the key. We try to encourage and support members with mukti swaps,finding properties,creating an advert,using the internet,removals,furniture outlets,referals to organisations that can help and online support through our instant chat service for any help or advice they may need 24 hours a day.

With the success of our groups we would like to move to the next stage which is running workshops/events and training days that also give tenants a chance to network and meet others that are going through the same process,
