The difference you’ll be making

“As a parent to a child living with cancer, your world becomes very small. Finding Spread a Smile meant we could find the fun, giving Erin a creative outlet and time to enjoy herself and me time to enjoy watching her.”
Helen, Erin’s Mum

Team Smile Fundraising Heroes

Every year we are supported by some amazing fundraisers, who take on incredible challenges and fundraising initiatives to help raise vital funds so we can spread even more smiles. 

For her ninth birthday, Vidhi chose to fundraise for Spread a Smile in support of our Intensive Care Library Project, helping to fund books for our libraries at our NHS hospital partners.

“I skipped, I baked and worked extremely hard to help children in hospital. Together with over 1,000 supporters and close to 400 donors, we raised over £5,725! I want to carry on, grateful for how good it feels to make a difference.”
