We bring much needed joy, light & laughter to brighten the days of very ill children.

Story

In June 2020 Isaac aged 3 was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour. He spent many months during COVID in Great Ormond Street with only one of his parents allowed to be present. The two of them were isolated from the outside world facing the most terrifying ordeal. Isaac underwent operations, chemo and stem cell therapy and his care was excellent however the team at Spread a Smile really brought a smile to his gorgeous face at the most awful time. Isaac is the most amazing young boy, his mum is nothing short of a super hero and we want to raise money to help other children and families smile at such a tricky time.

We will be embarking on a tour of Europe undertaking challenges and events enroute with a number of Travel Indsutry Colleagues to raise as much money as possible.

To see Isaac smile is a gift - let's make more children smile when they are sick. At Spread a Smile the mission is to distract seriously ill children and teenagers from the monotony of long hospital stays by spreading joy and laughter.

Every year, their 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. Their support also includes family events and outings, Smile TV, art workshops, painting children's radiotherapy masks and family support.
