Story

Over the last 25 years, Happy Days Children's Charity hasprovided day trips and short breaks to some of the UK's most vulnerable families. Last year, we supported over 20,000 children with mental and physical disabilities, life limiting conditions, children who have been abused and young carers. But we need your help to continue our vital work.We are trying to give 30 children from a disability support group in Swindon a wonderful day out at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane to watch a magical performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

With current Covid restrictions we may not be able to organise our 'standard' performance, but the positive news is that we will still be able to provide a Covid Safe Cinematic Theatre Experience even if restrictions are still in place!  The children, aged 3 - 17, have various additional needs including Angelman's syndrome, Wolf Hirschom syndrome and Fragile X syndrome, meaning some of the children are wheelchair bound. Owing to their circumstances, they have very few life and leisure experiences.

Please help us raise £1,250 to make the children's wish a reality.

About the charity

What a Difference a Day Makes... Last year, Happy Days helped almost 25,000 children with life-limiting illnesses, mental and physical disabilities and those who had suffered abuse and neglect. We also gave magical days out to bereaved children, as well as young carers supporting their families.
