industry dinner

We were delighted to host our second Insurance Dinner on 11 March at Uncommon Holborn, welcoming 32 guests from across the sector. It was wonderful to reconnect with leaders from the insurance community and enjoy an evening of meaningful conversation and connection.

The event offered a valuable opportunity to share how Spread a Smile supports seriously ill children and young people through our hospital visits, virtual sessions and special family events, helping to bring comfort and joy during long hospital stays and challenging treatment.

Lucy Jackson, Spread a Smile Chief Executive, said:

“Our Industry Dinners show the real impact that happens when a sector comes together with care and purpose. I’m grateful to everyone for giving up their time to spend an evening with Spread a Smile to learn more about our vital work bringing joy and laughter to seriously ill children. The insurance community makes a meaningful difference to the children and families we support, and I’m looking forward to following up post-event to explore how we can grow this impact together.”

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions and explored how the insurance sector can play a role in helping us support even more families. Your involvement ensures we can continue providing vital moments of comfort and joy when they’re needed most.

A special thank you to Philip Smaje and Richard Reggel for their ongoing leadership as part of our insurance committee, and to Uncommon for their continued support and for hosting us in their wonderful space.
