In April 2025, Spread a Smile teamed up with our friends from Scamp & Dude to hand out 200 of their Superhero Sleep Buddies on our entertainer visits to King’s College Hospital, London and the Children’s Haematology Department at St Mary’s Hospital.
The soft and huggable Superhero Sleep Buddies are designed to support children with separation anxiety, providing a little bit of comfort and something to cuddle when needed most. Scamp & Dude generously donated the Sleep Buddies for our entertainers to hand out as part of our usual visits to children on the wards in hospital.
As always, the visits were filled with singing, magic, music and fairy fun with so many smiles shared and connections made. The children loved their sleep buddies and a huge thank you to Scamp & Dude for helping to bring some comfort and joy to seriously ill children in hospital.
Laura Walter, Director of Services said, “It is Spread a Smile’s mission to spread as many smiles as possible to seriously children and young people in hospital when they need it most. The Scamp & Dude Superhero Sleep Buddies were so well received and we can’t thank our friends from Scamp & Dude enough for helping to bring a little extra joy to the wards.”
