Supporting children suffering from illness or disability, helping them to enjoy their childhood
About Make a Smile
Make a Smile is a group of University age students that visit children mostly in hospitals dressed as beloved characters. We believe that all children deserve a childhood and understand that illness or disability can make this very difficult for some children. Our goal is to help these children to enjoy their childhood. We endeavour to be professional, forward-thinking and well trained but hold at the forefront of our practice that fun is the number one priority for both children and volunteers.
Mission and direction
Make a Smile is a volunteer-led organisation that brings joy and companionship to children, especially those in hospitals, by using beloved characters and fun, well-organised visits. It combines professionalism and training with a playful, child-centred approach to help children enjoy experiences that illness or disability can otherwise limit.
