MEET THE ENTERTAINERS

Our entertainers form the heart of Spread a Smile. We are very lucky to have an incredible team of entertainers, who have come to us based on personal recommendations and have had extensive professional experience in the entertainment industry. We have a range of magicians, fairies, singers, face painters and a spontaneous poet to ensure that every age group from newborns to eighteen-year-olds and every taste can be catered for.

Our entertainers tell us that joining Spread a Smile has been a life-changing experience. Many of them have been with us since the charity was established.

Here’s what some of them had to say about working with Spread a Smile:

Testimonials

You only have to visit a very sick child, make them laugh hysterically and leave them with a massive smile to get the biggest job satisfaction ever. It makes me feel like a better person; I have never done anything like this before on such a regular basis and it brings an inner peace which I’ve never experienced before. I also get the great satisfaction that I have in some small way, hopefully made their stay in hospital just a little bit better.

The hospital visits put the whole world into perspective. To take a child to a different world and sprinkle a bit of magic about – it reminds you what life’s really about

Whilst we cannot ease pain or fix their condition, we can, for a few minutes at least, allow them to forget why they are in hospital and give them a chance to react and behave like any other child. We give them a chance to enjoy the feelings of fun and laughter the other kids take for granted. Our visits are a highlight of the children’s day and they really look forward to our visits. Giving a child a sense of excitement and hope is a great way to help them mentally if not physically.’
