On Tuesday 27 May, 15 young patients and their families (51 people in total) joined us at the Everyman Cinema in Kings Cross to watch for a family outing to watch Mufasa: The Lion King!
Spread a Smile organises outings, events and activities such as this to support seriously ill young people, their parents, carers and siblings and bring moments of respite, joyful experiences and enduring memories at the most challenging of times.
Our recent cinema trip did just that, with our families enjoying lots of treats including sweets, chocolates and popcorn plus entertainment from Spread a Smile entertainers with magic, music and fairy sparkle. We were also delighted to welcome volunteers from XTX Markets who got stuck in doing glitter tattoos for our special guests.The lovely team at Everyman treated everyone to delicious pizzas whilst Spread a Smile’s Mr Magic dazzled guests with a brilliant magic show on the stage. Once everyone was full (of treats and laughter), we all settled down to watch the film and enjoy time out and relaxation together.
We’re so grateful to our friends from XTX for their support and the team at Everyman for making us so welcome.
Please do get in touch if you’d like to find out more about our family events and how you can support them.
