Avondale Young Farmers have chosen to support and raise money for SMILE Children’s Charity for the upcoming 2026/27 year💛

SMILE provides support for families with children who have disabilities or serious illnesses.

Their vision is to build a peaceful rural retreat in Lanarkshire where families can take a break from everyday pressures

SMILE are now working to transform the former Canderavon Care Home in Stonehouse into a fully accessible Respite House, Sensory Play Centre and Family Support Hub. A place to relax, have fun, recharge and spend precious time together making lasting memories. 🏡🎗️

They also support families through mindfulness sessions and alternative therapies, giving them space to reflect, look after their mental wellbeing and find moments of calm 💭

We’re delighted to support such an inspiring charity and look forward to helping them make a real difference to families in our community 🌟

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on our upcoming charity events and challenges 👀
