We believe that it is everyone’s right to put aside the cares of life and smile for a while. We work with marginalised groups to bring smiles and laughter, whether as Clown Doctors for children undergoing difficult medical treatments or through arts, music and crafts workshops and shows.

Story

In about 4 weeks, I'm running my first ever Half Marathon and am raising money for a fabulous charity: The Flying Seagull Project.

I've long supported The Flying Seagull Project myself, which uses trained teams of clowns, musicians and entertainers to create safe environments of play and laughter for children in some of the most challenging and desperate situations around the world. They do so through shows, games, and workshops in, for example, refugee camps, asylum shelters, or with homeless children and teens.

As the Seagulls state: "A happy and playful childhood is a right for all, not a luxury for some to enjoy and for others to envy. Through each show and play session, we make sure that every child, everywhere, can access the childhood they deserve: a childhood full of laughter, noise, colour, friends and happiness."

So, let's get behind this great cause and help spread some more smiles! I'll do the running, and hopefully you can do some of the giving :)

Any kind of support is appreciated. Let's make this happen together!
