Every year Spread a Smile supports thousands of seriously ill babies, children and young people during their hospital stays, periods of recuperation and respite at home. We offer a range of services, from entertainer visits (in hospital or virtual), to family outings and events and art initiatives. Our services are available free of charge to all children and teenagers up to the age of 18 and under the care of our NHS hospital and hospice partners.
