We bring joy and laughter to seriously ill children in hospital.

Story

This year myself, Ian and Tracy will be running the GSR for the beautiful and brave Lily, and her family. Lily was diagnosed with an undifferentiated sarcoma in December 2020 when she was 9 years old. I know how much Lily has benefitted from the activities provided by Spread a Smile and how grateful her family is for their support. Please donate so this amazing charity can help other children and their families too. 

 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.
