Click here to watch Dr Dovetail at Evelina Children’s Hospital and see what it is like to be visited by a Giggle Doctor. Watch how she can make even the most serious environment one filled with joy and laughter.

Our National Lottery legend Dr Dovetail is a specialist performer who is highly trained to bring music, magic and laughter to children in hospital. A stay in hospital can be incredibly distressing, especially for children. They will be frightened, have limited opportunities for play and sometimes be away from friends, family and loved ones for long periods of time. That’s why Giggle Doctors, like Dr Dovetail, are so important. By donating, you will be helping to provide more smiles for children at a time when they need it most.

Every £10 we receive funds a magical Giggle Doctor visit for one child and £1,000 will help us reach 100 sick and disabled children at a time when they need it most. You can help us to provide more National Lottery legends like Dr Dovetail and make sure children are given the chance to giggle at a time when they need it most.

"It was an extremely stressful time, but as if by magic the Giggle Doctors would always arrive on the ward at the right time and brighten everyone’s day.  The children would perk up, parents would have their minds taken off the awful and often harrowing situations they were finding themselves in, and even the staff would smile!" – A Parent
