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.
“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 to help buy books for Spread a Smile’s Intensive Care Library Project!
“I want to carry on, grateful for how good it feels to make a difference.”
