CurrentSpread a Smile provides entertainment to critically ill children and teenagers in NHS hospitals. This year we will deliver over 8,000 in person bedside visits and over 2,000 virtual visits, in partnership with 30 NHS hospitals. Our goal is to have a direct impact on the wellbeing of seriously ill children by delivering services that reduce anxiety, build confidence and self-esteem and provide a distraction from difficult treatments and painful procedures. We support families throughout all stages of illness and treatment, taking the pressure off parents and carers by bringing smiles and laughter during long hospital stays and helping to create positive memories and rare moments of joy.
