A Spoonful of Sugar

We’re A Spoonful Of Sugar. We help seriously ill children in hospital. We do this by giving them the best medicine they can get. A laugh. Each week, we send a professional entertainer or artist into the wards to give the children a healing dose of fun. We try our best to give them something to look forward to - like arranging a post-treatment VIP trip to Hamleys. In all this, our aim is to help the children forget where they are, forget the suffering and forget the monotony of hospitalisation. If we can achieve any of that, even for a second, it’s all worth it. We already help the kids in the Carousel Ward of UCH in London. Now we need your help to get to the hundreds of children in 21 similar wards nationwide. Every penny you can spare will go directly into bringing some much-needed fun and laughter to all of them.

Best Beginnings

Best Beginnings was set up as a charity in 2006 as a catalyst for change, using innovative approaches to break down inequalities in child health in the UK. Our vision is of a future where all children enjoy best practice healthcare from conception, and where families have the information and support needed to protect their children's health and avoid preventable illnesses and deaths. Many of Britain's babies are born in challenging circumstances and are disproportionately prone to a number of problems including being born prematurely, suffering serious illnesses, developmental disorders and deaths in early infancy. The nationwide gap is huge; for instance, the infant mortality rate in Birmingham is more than 6 times greater than in Eastleigh in Hampshire. We are committed to making a difference, but we need your help to do so. To find out more about our work and how you can make a difference, please visit our website: www.bestbeginnings.info
