Spread a Smile brings joy and laughter to seriously ill children in NHS hospitals and hospices across the country. Through in-person and virtual visits and events, our entertainers enhance wellbeing and help families cope with the pain and anxiety of serious illness and hospitalisation.

Story

Our mission at Spread a Smile is to distract seriously ill children and teenagers from the monotony of long hospital stays by spreading joy and laughter.

Every year, our teams of entertainers make thousands of virtual and bedside visits, distracting children from pain and treatment, breaking the monotony of the hospital environment and creating positive memories for them, their parents and siblings. Our support also includes family events and outings, Smile TV, art workshops, painting children's radiotherapy masks and family support.

Spread a Smile, a charity without government funding, greatly appreciates its supporters’ contributions. LMAC & Howden chose this charity for a successful football event at Billericay Football Club, marking the beginning of their commitment to support. They’ve witnessed the charity’s positive impact, motivating them to host annual football and golf events, and volunteer activities like Christmas gift wrapping.

Over three years, they’ve raised over £123,427, aiming for a £500,000 target. Their efforts reflect a deep fulfilment in supporting the charity’s mission to bring joy to seriously ill children and their families. Lee and Danny’s dedication is praised by Lucy Jackson, the charity’s CEO, acknowledging their significant role in the Spread a Smile community and expressing heartfelt gratitude for their kindness and support.
