Since 2020, Spread a Smile has been bringing joy to seriously ill children at Leicester Royal Infirmary, supporting seriously ill children and their families through treat drops and virtual visits. These moments of fun and laughter help brighten long hospital stays and create a sense of normality for children living with serious illness.
We are now thrilled to be expanding our support for young patients at Leicester Royal Infirmary by introducing regular in-person entertainer visits to the wards. Last week, we celebrated the first of these in-person visits, with our talented entertainers Fairy Becca and Nick the magician providing bedside visits and spreading smiles through music, magic and more.
Our entertainer visits are at the heart of what we do at Spread a Smile: providing moments of interaction, fun and distraction and helping to lift what can be a scary time for children and young people in hospital.
Leicester Royal Infirmary is one of Spread a Smile’s 39 NHS hospitals and six hospice partners across the country and we’re very much looking forward to working closely with and supporting their brilliant ward team.
As a charity that receives no government funding, we rely solely on the generosity of our supporters. If you would like to support visits like these, please consider making a donation. Thank you.
