Our 33 Giggle Doctors currently visit children in 21 hospitals, 3 hospices and 2 specialist care centres every year, providing magic and laughter at a time when it is needed most. Whilst medical staff treat the illness, Giggle Doctors focus entirely on the children. Wearing their very own colourful doctor coats, which represent their character, a Giggle Doctor spends time one to one with the children, creating opportunities for children to play and interact through music, magic, play and storytelling.

As our Giggle Doctors are currently unable to visit children due to Covid-19, we have developed our Giggle Doctor Programme to be online too! We now provide Giggle-a-Grams which are personalised Giggle Doctor videos which you can request for your child. We now have live video calls so you can have a virtual Giggle Doctor visit to continue bringing joy and laughter, especially now at a time when it is needed most.

With our Digital Giggle Doctor Live Visits, we aim to provide the same service, but through a screen instead of in person. The Giggle Doctors will be online every week, and parents will be able to visit our website and book a time slot to connect with the Giggle Doctor via a WhatsApp Video Call on their phone or tablet.

Your support will help our online Giggle Doctor Programme continue to spread joy and laughter to children at a time when it may feel scary and isolating, and have a lasting impact for many children in hospital.
