Make a Smile

Make a Smile was set up in 2016, and has grown from strength to strength, building year on year. We have an increasing number of volunteers, and fantastic partners and every year we visit more and more children. We currently have over 400 volunteers and have visited over 3000 children throughout over 1500 volunteering hours.

We believe that through no fault of their own, often children undergoing hardship can miss vital play opportunities or lose out on opportunities to interact with their idols. With illness, this can be due to frequent trips to the hospital or long stays onwards. Alternatively, for children with disabilities, they can struggle to communicate or interact with their idols. We are keen to change this.

An absence of these vital opportunities can cause children to mature much faster than they otherwise would, missing important parts of their childhood. As such, we offer a safe, friendly, inclusive atmosphere to take children away from the hardships and give them the opportunity to play and interact with their idols.
