Theodora Children's Charity transforms children’s experience of hospitals from an environment that can be scary and isolating into a place of fun, play and laughter. Our Giggle Doctors are specially trained performers, who combine music, play and storytelling, to bring moments of joy and laughter to thousands of children facing huge challenges with their health. With each visit, we aim to reduce distress and anxiety, increase opportunities for play and improve children’s experience of hospital.

Our Giggle Doctors visit children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centres across England. By combining music, play, magic and storytelling these professional performers bring magical moments to brave children in challenging times. We believe that every sick or disabled child should get the giggles that only a Giggle Doctor can bring.
